The hits keep on coming for Checo:
Perez hit with three-place grid penalty for Spanish GP
Sergio Perez has been hit with a three-place grid penalty for the Spanish Grand Prix after he was judged to have driven back to the pits with a "significantly damaged car" in Montreal.www.formula1.com
The thing about this is that Red Bull instructed Checo to limp it back to the pits b/c they didn't want a safety car to threaten Max's lead.
They admitted it - and were fined €25K. There's quite a bit of chatter that this was effectively "cheating" (intentionally breaking the rules to avoid a safety car to protect the lead) and should have been penalized more harshly.
