Nico Rosberg said after the race in Suzuki that he was happy that Sergio Perez had a flat tire in their duel. The Mexican was said to be dangerous in the duel.
Rosberg caught up with Perez in the final laps of the race and attacked him for eighth place. At the end of the overtaking, the two riders touched each other with the race cars with the McLarn racer pulling short. His tire burst and he finished the race only in fifteenth place.
The Mercedes racer, however, is convinced that Perez caused himself problems with his unsportsmanlike defensive driving.
“Perez did not do the right thing. It was dangerous, ”Rosberg said. “The rules are clear: If you brake and block someone’s path, you have to move back outwards. He didn't leave me room. That's why I'm glad his tire burst, because he got out of my way. "
Perez has already gotten involved with a number of racers this year, all of whom were critical of his ride. But this time the Mexican did not blame anyone for the change of guilt. “It’s a difficult afternoon behind us. Everything went wrong. Boxing, a flat tire, Nico… ”summed up the race.
Rosberg was breaking out of the background before the incident after he had to take a penalty drive through the pits because mechanics dangerously dropped him during stops from a tire change station right in front of Perez, who was driving to his stop. The German found the punishment appropriate, although the commissioners have so far only punished the team in similar cases. “The punishment was deserved and I knew it was waiting for me,” Rosberg said. “I was dangerously released. I'm sorry this happened. "
