5 talking points from the Singapore Grand Prix

#5 Ordinary stuff from Perez

F1 Grand Prix of Singapore

If there was a driver who passed the checkered flag being absolutely guilt-stricken at Singapore, then it would have to be Sergio Perez, the fighting Mexican. On the opening lap, when his teammate Esteban Ocon jumped onto the right of his teammate at around Turn 1, Perez, possibly aware of what had happened, didn't leave even a fraction of a tiny space for the two to contend with.

This led to the two coming together and Ocon crashing into the sidewall barriers.

Later on, it was shocking to find Perez, who should've learned from his Lap-1 gaffe, didn't for a second relent when it came to the scrap with Williams' Sirotkin, leading to another crash. What Peres was up to at Singapore is something one cannot understand.

But it suffices to say that finishing sixteenth, well outside points, didn't help Peres or his team, who had an off day at the office.
