What happened to Sergio Perez? The racer crashed his car on the way to the grid before the Belgian Grand Prix even commenced, which might have resulted in him not going back on the racing track.
Sergio Perez, commonly known as “Checo,” is a Mexican racing driver who races in Formula One for Red Bull Racing.
He won his first Formula One Grand Prix at Sakhir Grand Prix in the year 2020. Perez then secured the second Grand Prix victory of his career after winning the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
What Happened To Sergio Perez?
Sergio Perez had a little misfortune after getting into an accident while making his way through Spa-Francor Champs in the rain to take his place on the starting grid.
The Mexican racer lost control on the wet surface and could not stop RB16B from banging head first into the barriers at Les Combes.
Perez attempted to reverse his vehicle but was prevented from doing so, which is why he had to climb out from the damaged car. The Red Bulls Sporting Director Wheatley told the racing director Michael Masi that Sergio would not be participating due to the intensity of damage in the right front suspension.
The formula One racer was initially asked not to participate in the race but was later permitted after his team fixed his car.
Sergio will be allowed to start his race off from the pit lane rather than from the grid. Thankfully, he didn’t sustain any serious injuries, which is also one of the reasons that he was allowed to go back to race on the track.
