Sergio Perez admits penalty for Sergey Sirotkin clash was 'fair'

Sergio Perez believes the stewards got it right in awarding him a drive-through penalty and three penalty points for driving into Sergey Sirotkin at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Perez's torrid race in Singapore began on lap one when he put Force India teammate teammate Esteban Ocon into the wall at Turn 3. The Mexican was then running comfortably clear of his midfield rivals before an early stop dropped him behind a group of cars who had to yet to pit including the Williams of Sirotkin.

While battling the Williams, Perez turned into Sirotkin -- who he had been stuck behind for several laps -- while the pair ran side by side through Turns 17 and 18.
