So... Yeah, my bad in that one, but still happily didn't change a race," Perez said.

we were compromised with such an early Safety Car, and that meant that basically everyone just pitted. And when I was going out, it was actually my mistake, because I was told by the team to hold it back," said the Mexican

"But in hindsight, I looked on the right and there was nobody there when I looked. But in hindsight, I think the penalty was correct and that pretty much compromised our race."

"You are able to have a bit of awareness of what's going on around you, definitely. And when I looked at the mirror, there was no one. I saw that I didn't have the proper release. But I didn't see anyone. So sometimes the team can be a little bit slower than you in the car. But this time was the other way around. So... Yeah, my bad in that one, but still happily didn't change a race," Perez said.

A driver just going without being released by the team? Sounds like BS to me personally

If you watch the onboards then you'll see that Max went after the red light went out. Perez drove off with the red light still on. Just check it with F1TV.

The number of upvotes you are getting for this when both the onboard footage and the FIA document show that Perez went out even though is the light was red is scary.

Well, obviously a lot of people have not seen that onboard footage. Would be helpful if someone could post it here.

Here you go

Poor mechanic who holds the light panel had to jump out of the way
