BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Sergio Perez says he took action to put Force India into administration for the good of the team and is hopeful it will result in a brighter future for he Silverstone-based outfit.
Force India entered administration on Friday night after Perez brought legal action against the team with the support of engine supplier Mercedes and main sponsor BWT. The team will continue to race as usual at this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix as administrators work out the best outcome for its creditors long term.
Perez is owed over £3 million in unpaid salary, but insists the money was not the motivation behind the action.
