Pérez urges F1 rule changes over speed differences

Cadillac driver Sergio Pérez has urged Formula 1 to examine its rules on energy deployment after what he described as a near miss with Liam Lawson in Azerbaijan. Speaking to RacingNews365 and other reporters, Pérez said he had nearly gone off heavily while defending against Lawson.

Pérez argued that differences in energy deployment and engine power between cars were dangerous. He warned that something bad could happen soon unless the regulations changed.

Pérez said Mercedes and Red Bull seemed to have particularly strong engines, allowing their cars to catch his where its energy deployment was weaker or different. He said he hoped that gap could be closed.
