Sergio Perez’s father was stable in hospital in Mexico City after he collapsed at home following his son’s heavy crash in Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, local media have reported. Red Bull Formula One driver Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz were battling for third place in Baku when they collided and ended up in the wall,

The incident sparked fury in Perez, who took to the team radio to lambaste Sainz as an "idiot", clearly pinning the blame on the Spaniard for the crash. In stark contrast, Sainz's reaction was one of bewilderment rather than anger, seemingly perplexed at how the events unfolded.
