168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez believes168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton will be penalised by F1’s stewards over an incident d꧑uring Dutch Grand Prix qualifying.

The Red Bull driver clai✃med he was impeded by Hamilton at Turn 9 duriℱng Q1 at Zandvoort, branding the seven-time world champion an “idiot” over team radio.

Hamilton faces an investigation for the incident and could receive a grid drop if he is deemed to have blocked Perez. The Mercedes driver suffered a shock Q2 eಌlimination with only the 12th fastest time.

Perez described the incident꧑ as “unfortunate” and simply being the “wrong time, wrong moment”,ﷺ but reckons a penalty is coming Hamilton’s way.

”He has tried his best [to get๊ out of the way] but unfortunatelꦛy, we just ended up in the wrong [place] at the wrong time," Perez said.

"The stewards ha♍ve been really strict thi📖s year, and I've got penalties for a lot worse than that, so I do expect him to get a penalty, unfortunately.

"I think he did the best he could [to get out of the way], and there probably should be a little more [margin given] in that regard, bu𝓰t it is what it is.”

Perez qualified fifth but was forced to use a second set of fresh soft tyres in order to safe💜ly progress into Q2. The Mexican felt this ultimately cost him a better starting position for Sunday’s grand prix.

“I should have also been putting a lap on my first attempt in Q2,” Perez said. “It was jﷺust unfortunate because I think our qualifying could have looked a bit different with two sets.”

He ad𓄧ded: “I think there is always a bit in track evolution, two sets of tyres. There is probably a few tenths𒀰 in it. Hard to know obviously.

“Obviously just having one run you don’t want to mess𒐪 it up🅺. The lap wasn’t that clean, whereas when you have two sets you can attack a lot more the first one [lap].”
