Massa hits out at Perez after crash
Print Edition
FELIPE Massa accused rival driver Sergio Perez of being “dangerous” after the Mexican had caused their near-300 kph collision in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
Massa spoke out in the early hours of yesterday after both men had escaped serious injury in a horrifying accident on the closing laps of a memorable race which saw Australian Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull claim his maiden victory.
Brazilian Massa had tried to pass Perez for fourth position as they approached Turn One when their cars collided, an impact that sent both into the barriers at high speed.
“We’ve had the rules for a few years that when one car is up the side, the other cannot move anymore,” said Massa, who was driving for Williams.
“He just moved and we touched. It’s dangerous. For me, five places is not enough. He was dangerous. We could have crashed into (Sebastian) Vettel.”
Perez of Force India was given a five-place grid penalty for the next race, the Austrian Grand Prix on June 22.
Championship leader Nico Rosberg of Mercedes finished second ahead of fellow German Vettel of Red Bull.
