Incidents

About half an hour before the end of training, they came dangerously close Sergio Perez in Romain Grosjean. The Mexican was in the first turn in the way of the Frenchman, which made him have to Grosjean take the longer route on the outside and, probably out of anger, immediately drove in front Laziness.
