168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez is now just four points away from triggering an automatic F1 race ban f🦹ollowing his penalty in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver was hit with a five-second time penalty for 🗹leaving his pit box i🍌n an unsafe manner during the early stages of Saturday’s race in Jeddah.

With the majoriꦰt🌟y of the field opting to pit under the early Safety Car, Red Bull double stacked their cars.

But Perez was released directly into the path of Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, who had to slam on his brakes tꦺo avoid hitting the Mexican.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix stewards ruled that Alonso had to “take evasive action to avoid a co𒁏llision” and subsequently penalised Perez.

“What made the situation worse was the fact that car 11 left the pits when there was a red light shown to it (indicating that it shou🍰ld not👍 go out of the pit box),” they noted.

Although the penalty had no bearing on the result for Perez, who finished second behind168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen for a second consecutive Red Bull 1-2, it could have consequences🦹 further down the line.

Tha♒t is because Perez was also issued with a penalty point on his licence, taking his total for the current 12-month period up to eight.

Any driver who colle💖cts 12 penalty points within a year is hit with an automatic one-race ban.

Perez won’t have a point scrubbed off his licence until September 17, meaning he must get through the next 15 races without picking up four penalty pꦗoints to avoid a ban.
