Red Bull Racing confirmed that Perez was okay. The Austrian team posted on X that despite Checo’s car ‘being in pieces,’ the Mexican driver was able to get out without any issues. Although, it is likely that Sergio Perez will undergo a medical test to ensure that he is completely fine.

Certainly, Perez had the worst possible end to the Monaco GP. However, the 34-year-old would be looking to put this behind as his future in F1 remains uncertain. On the other hand, Max Verstappen becomes the sole Red Bull driver left in the race.
