Sergio Perez has called track limits in the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix “a joke” after he received three penalties over the course of the race.
Perez said he struggled to see the white line that marked the edge of the track. It was moved at Turns 12 and 13 before Saturday’s action as part of the response to a potential safety issue with Pirelli’s tyres, although not all of the Mexican’s offences occurred at that spot. The Red Bull driver started from the pitlane on hards after a change of chassis following his crash with Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg in Saturday’s sprint.

A really long afternoon, and I was very disappointed that I let my team down. “It was a very poor weekend overall with the incident yesterday, which made it even worse today. “Plenty of things to look at, and make sure we put everything in place for the coming races.
