🗣️'To me, this happened so many races ago, that it's totally irrelevant.' Sergio Perez denied suggestions that he crashed deliberately during Q3 at this year’s F1 Monaco GP, saying 'it's not like it was done on purpose', following fresh scrutiny⬇️
in last weekend’s Brazilian GP was a direct result of the Monaco incident and his ongoing frustration over a race which Perez went on to win.
"Everyone makes mistakes in Monaco,” he said. “And you can see - I mean, these days you have all the information, and you can go and see it already. I nearly crashed into Turn 1. “And that's really it when you're chasing the lap time. But you can already see that from Turn 1, I was playing with the throttle, because it was where I was losing the lap time. And you can see already into Turn 1 that I nearly lost it already.”
“And we are able to be the team we used to be, united and strong. And that's the priority of the team, we want to put all of this behind us and then just move forwards.” “It's just part of the sport and the speculation people like to make,” he said. “To me, this happened so many races ago, that it's totally irrelevant.“I'm thinking about this weekend, I'm thinking about making sure the team is in good spirits, because we've had a tremendous season, it's been a hell of a year for Red Bull.
