Sixth on the grid, Sergio Pérez gained two places at the start of the Turkish Grand Prix by going inside to Pierre Gasly at the first turn and benefiting from the spin of Fernando Alonso. The Mexican thus found himself in the fight for the podium, in the wake of the Ferrari de Charles Leclerc. “I was fighting against Charles in my first stint, the tires felt good behaved, explained the pilot Red Bull after the race. It's one of those races where you have to be patient, where you have to manage the tires, because you don't really know what can happen with them in the following laps. It was quite complicated to manage them. » In his second stint, Czech found the Monegasque to steal third place from him: “Charles is a very good driver, it’s always nice to fight against him. » This is the second podium in a row for Pérez at Otodrom Instanbul Park, less than a year after the one acquired with Racing Point.

But not complicated to keep your place on LH by deliberately going off track, incomprehensible that there is not even an investigation, the rules of the game are definitely at the head of the customer, at the same time Gasly and Alonso take 5s for a in racing, when it comes to judging faults, it is more than urgent to ensure that this charade does not continue.
