To ignore the weigh-in: Perez will start the race from the pits

He was in Austin local time last night Sergio Perez got a bad conscience. He will have to start Sunday's race from the boxes. The leadership of the race is that severely punished pronounced due to the fact that the racer team Racing Point did not stop at weighing at FIA ombudsmen. Because after the end of the second workout, he was assigned to weigh car number 11, but Perez is light signal at the beginning of the pits overlooked. Mexican he did stand for a short time, but when he did asked the team, what to do now, they ordered him to return to the garage.

V the justification is specifically stated"The commissioners watched the video evidence and spoke to the driver of car number 11 and a representative of the team. In doing so, they found that the racer did not stop for the weighing to which he was called. Instead, he drove forward and made a stop at the pits. Work was being done on the car as they lifted it and replaced all four wheels. This is a violation of Article 29.1 a.And that means, as I said, punishment the start of the boxing race.
