This is the million that RedBull will have to spend to fix Checo Pérez’s car after a crash in Monaco

“If you look at my on board you don’t even see it, Kevin doesn’t appear on the screen. “Those maneuvers in which when you are the car behind you only have two options: contact or let go, because the car in front is the one in charge,” Checo added.

For his part, Magnussen blamed Pérez for what happened. “I had the front axle aligned with Checo’s rear wheels, on the way to the Curva del Casino, and he didn’t leave me any room on the outside. I expected him to leave me a car width, because I didn’t appear out of nowhere: my car was already there at the exit of Turn 1. I’m surprised he ended up against the guardrail, because he had a gap to his left. I don’t know, he would count on me to disappear,” noted the Dane.

In addition to the consequences in the championship standings (Pérez is now fifth and Verstappen was cut by his main rivals), RedBull will have to spend a million on repairing the Mexican’s car.

“There was a lot of damage, it was very dangerous. “I am disappointed, because the accident was important and my car is completely destroyed,” Checo insisted.

Austrian Helmut Marko, RedBull’s advisor, took stock of what the accident will cost RedBull, for which he also blamed Magnussen.

“A two million dollar apartment, although the figure will surely rise to three million. With the budget limit rules this is a big disadvantage for us”Marko assured, in statements to Sky Sports.

“It is another accident in which Magnussen was involved. Thank God it ended without injuries, but the situation was critical. “I was surprised how quickly they put the incident behind them,” the Austrian insisted.

Magnussen, who has already been involved in several incidents this season, is about to complete the penalty points to miss a grand prix due to suspension: he has ten in eight races.
