Perez surprised Sainz was not penalised during Canadian Grand Prix

Sergio Perez says he is surprised that Carlos Sainz was not penalised during the Canadian Grand Prix after the two tangled at the safety car restart. The Mexican held a slide and ended up dropping several positions after being forced to cut across the grass at turn two.

"I overtook him into Turn 1, gave enough room, but I don't know what was the reason I got hit," said Perez.

"I was surprised that we didn't see any penalty because I was ahead and I tried to give as much room as possible to make sure both cars went into the corner. But it happened.

"I managed to save the car because I was going to go straight into the wall.

"Luckily I managed to save it and we kept going."

Sainz however saw things a little bit differently.

"Just look at the images because I'm pretty sure when he looks at them (he'll see) I don't move under braking or anything strange on my driving line or anything like that," said Sainz.

"He attempted a very optimistic move around the outside.

"He turned in very early to the corner and we collided."
