Checo Pérez: The incredible reason why the FIA would take points after the Australian GP
After the Australian Grand Prix, it was revealed the incredible reason why the FIA would take points away from Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez despite finishing in fifth place.
Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez ‘s 2023 F1 season began with ups and downs, because, despite the fact that he scored two podiums, the last race at the Australian GP was complicated, in addition to the fact that it could be worse after it was revealed that the FIA could take away points for an incredible reason.
The Mexican driver finished in fifth place on the Australian continent despite starting last in a competition that was repeatedly interrupted by the appearance of the safety car , leading to a rough finish with penalties.
However, despite the fact that the Red Bull driver is in second place in the individual competition with 54 points , he could be affected because the stewards of the motorsport competition would be reviewing one of the incidents that could affect him.
Why would ‘Checo’ Pérez lose points?
It was the media Mundo D who announced that the International Automobile Federation (FIA) is reviewing what happened in the penultimate restart of the race in Australia , where in the first corner different cars were involved in accidents and irregularities.
However, despite the fact that Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez did not make any mistakes, points could be deducted from him because F1 is considering withdrawing the punishment from Carlos Sainz , who was penalized with five seconds, for which he would recover fourth place in the one who finished the competition.
In the event that this request proceeds, the Spanish pilot would recover that place and would cause Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez to drop to sixth place and have three points removed , which could affect the end of the season in the search for the first places in the World.
It will be next Tuesday, April 18 , when the decision of the commissioners is known, where, despite the fact that the ‘Tapatío’ driver did not make any mistakes, he could go back to 51 points , so he would remain in second place behind Max Verstappen .
It will be next weekend from April 28 to 30 when Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez and the rest of the F1 drivers return to activity at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix , where it will be known whether or not the Mexican will lose the points. by Carlos Sainz .
