Sergio Perez has denied suggestions that he crashed deliberately during Q3 at this year’s Monaco GP, and that it led to Verstappen's refusal to help him in Brazil F1 AbuDhabiGP
It’s been widely reported that Verstappen’s refusal to cede a place to Perez 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.”
“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.”
