Sainz angry with Perez

"****, this was huge, what he just did was crazy," reported a frustrated Sainz on the radio at Ferrari. During FP2, it was the Ferrari driver who impeded the Red Bull driver. Both Sainz and Perez will have to visit the stewards, and explain to them what happened, as race control indicated that the incident was noted.

Horner reacts to Perez and Sainz incident

"I think we didn't give perhaps Checo the information early enough about Carlos," Horner told Sky Sports after FP3. "It wasn't quite as bad as yesterday's, but it was almost an action replay of yesterday. So I would expect a similar reverse outcome," the team principal said, thus predicting a warning for Perez.
