Perez, Sainz Move on After Baku Collision Ahead of Singapore GP

Posted : 20 September 2024

Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz have resolved any tension after their collision during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with both drivers expressing no hard feelings ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. The pair crashed on the penultimate lap in Baku while battling for third place, a mishap that helped McLaren extend their championship lead by 20 points. Speaking on Thursday, Perez admitted the incident was due to poor decisions made at the wrong moments, while both drivers agreed it was irrelevant to assign blame.

 

Sainz recalled how they awkwardly spent 20 minutes together in the medical center following the crash, hooked up to heart rate monitors and discussing what went wrong. The Spanish driver explained that they both questioned the cause of the accident but quickly realized it was unintentional on both sides. They eventually found humor in the situation, reaffirming that no ill will existed between them despite the lost podium opportunity.

 

Perez also addressed rumors circulating on social media that he had hit Sainz’s helmet or pushed his head after the crash, dismissing these claims as exaggerated. He clarified that he had only been speaking to Sainz, and while the video may have looked worse than the reality, there was no physical altercation. Perez emphasized his friendship with Sainz, calling him one of his closest mates in the drivers’ group, and expressed regret that they had collided.

 

Looking ahead to the Singapore Grand Prix, both drivers are eager to move past the incident. Perez praised his team for their hard work in repairing the damage to his car and hoped to repay them with a strong performance on Sunday. Meanwhile, Sainz, although unable to hear Perez during the crash, is focused on delivering a competitive race, with both drivers determined to make the most of the weekend.
