Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc collide during the race, resulting in Perez's retirement. The incident is ruled as a racing incident with no penalties.
The Red Bull driver shot off the line and pushed up on the outside of pole-sitter Leclerc entering Turn 1.
“It’s life. Of course, I’m disappointed to end the race of Checo like that, but I really didn’t do it on purpose and I had nowhere to go.” American motorsport queen Danika Patrick said on Sky Sports it was a “shame” that the crowd turned on Leclerc.“But it’s also part of sports. Sometimes you’re actually booing because the person sitting next to you is cheering for someone else. I think there’s a lot of layers to the booing, but it’s a shame because it’s one of the hardest things to do, be on the podium in Formula 1.”
He said he would have been disappointed just finishing on the podium when seeing an opportunity to take the race lead from Leclerc and Verstappen at Turn 1.
