Sergio Perez: Track limits debate a ‘never-ending story’ in F1
Sergio Perez♐ feelsℱ the debate over track limits in Formula 1 is a “never-ending story” following backlash over their enforcement in Russia two weeks ago.
Haas driver Kevin Magnussen was left fuming over a penalty received for not adhering to the stewards’ rules on using the escape road at the corner, which had already been the site of a sizeable accident in the Formula 2 race earlier in 💧the day when two drivers returned to the🦩 track at speed.

Sergio Perez feels the debate over track limits in Formula 1 is a “never-ending st𒀰ory” following backlash over their enforcement in Russia two weeks ago.
Haas driver Kevin Magnussen was left fuming over a penalty received for not adhering to the stewards’ rules on using the escape road at the corner, which had already been the site of a sizeable accident in the Formula 2 race earli⭕er in the day when two drivers r๊eturned to the track at speed.
The FIA has confirmed it will be open to reviewing the corner in the future, but there is doubt over putting gravel or grass down at the corner given tꦬhe circuit’s other requirements.
Speaking on Thursday in Japan, Racing Point driver Perez said there was a need t🎶o revise Turn 2 at Russia in order to 𝔉stop repeats of this year’s incidents.
“I just find that every year we tend to go into those argumಞents, unnecessary arguments,” Perez said.
“You see the track layout that we have in Turn 2, I would definitely expect a change for next year. What happened in GP2, that kind of thing, it j▨ust looks silly. They have to make a change.
“I think the corner is just wrong. There should be a natural penalty for people going off, whether it’s gꦗravel or grass, whatever. I think it’s come to a point where we’ve got to make a change.”
This weekend’s race at ওSuzuka offers more traditional deterrents to exceeding track limit🍃s by using both grass and gravel – something Perez felt was good for drivers.
“This is a great example of how t♉racks shoul🧔d be. If you go off anywhere, you pay a big price,” Perez said.
“I wish every track 𝓀was the same, tha꧒t the run-off areas, it’s a safe circuit, but it’s a circuit that you’ve got to respect.
“If you go off, it’s always going to be a big shunt. I thi🃏nk as a driver you like this kind of circuit.”
