Sergio Perez insists he followed FIA protocols during a two-day trip home to Mexico he took before the positive COVID test which has ruled him out of the British Grand Prix.
Perez tested positive on Thursday, sidelining him for the fourth race of the year and leaving his participation in next week's race at Silverstone in doubt too. Racing Point looks set to draft in Nico Hulkenberg as his stand-in for this weekend's event.
On Friday, Perez posted a video to his social media channels explaining he had gone home to see his mother, who had been in hospital.
