Perez given formal warning after throwing cable organiser from car

Sergio Perez received a formal warning from the São Paulo Grand Prix stewards after throwing a loose cable organiser from his Cadillac during final practice at Interlagos.

The stewards reviewed in-car footage and heard from a team representative. They identified the object as a small plastic cable organiser that typically attaches to the seat belt, and said it had come loose during the session. Perez threw it out because he was concerned it might lodge elsewhere in the car and create a safety issue, the stewards said.

The stewards said the light piece was unlikely to damage another car or injure another driver. They nevertheless considered throwing material onto the track during a live session inappropriate.
