what happened to perez f1

According to the search results, Sergio Perez, a Formula 1 driver for Red Bull Racing, suffered a disastrous Japanese Grand Prix on September 24, 2023. Perez collided with Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton, damaging his front wing. He needed another front wing due to the Magnussen incident, but had not served his second penalty when he retired from the race. Perez retired from the race with damage from the clash before serving the penalty when it was first announced. Red Bull Racing exploited a loophole in the F1 penalty rules, allowing Perez to return to the track after retiring. After the race, Perez reflected on the catastrophe in an exclusive post-race interview.
