Alex Albon: Sergio Perez "all forgiven" for Singapore clash - but questions the FIA

Albon and Perez came to blows in the latter stages of last weekend’s race at the Marin♚a Bay Street Circuit🎃.
Perez🍸 tried to overtake Albon with a late move into Turn 13, clattering into the Williams ✨driver in the process.
The Red Bull driver was later handed a five-sec🙈ond penalty, whi𝓡ch proved to be inconsequential as it didn’t affect his finishing position.
On the other hand, the contact cost Albon 🍨a chance of scoring poin🌳ts again.

Speaking in the FIA press conference, Albon was asked about the incident with Perez, joking to the media that ཧthey “should ask Yuki [Tsunoda] as well!” after his tangle with the Mexican on the opening lap.
“It was a bit disappointing🗹, of course, in the race last week,” he said. “Points for us, especially as they come long and far away from each other, so not to be able to score points was a bit of a shame.
“But aౠll forgiven. We’re going to 🌊Suzuka now, a track that should play a bit more into our car.
“But yeah it was disappointing, more bec🐟ause we didn’t have many hopes going into Singapore last w🌠eekend. So to be in a position where we could have almost score points was was exciting.
“And ♉then normally as long as we kept on track, we would haಞve scored some points but we didn’t.”
While Albon thought the penalty Perez received was in line with what the sജtewards usually give out, he wasn’🌟t sure it was “fair”.
“I think it’s quite a tricky one. Consistency, we push on it a lot of drivꦍers, as teams as well and viewers, but it’s a tricky one,” he added.
“For example, y꧙ou can take my incident with Checo when he has a five second penalty. It’s consistent with everything else, but is it really consistent? Fair? Maybe not.
“So I do think𒅌 there needs to be fle🐼xibility in some ways.”
