Sergio Perez blames Felipe Massa for Canadian Grand Prix crash

Sergio Perez has said that Felipe Massa was to blame for their crash on the last lap of the Canadian Grand Prix.

The Force India driver was handed a five-place grid penalty for the Austrian Grand Prix later this month for causing a crash with Massa after the race stewards ruled that he had changed his racing line heading into the corner.

The Mexican told Sky Sports News: "It was very disappointing to lose such a strong result through no fault of our own. I was following the same line and braking patterns as in the previous laps and I just got hit from behind by Massa.

"There was plenty of space on the left of my car to attempt a clean overtake and I cannot understand why he had to scrape by.

"I watched several replays of the incident and I can't help but notice how Felipe turns right just before he hits me. I can only think he must have changed his mind and wanted to rejoin the racing line, his misjudgement cost us a big amount of points."

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo went on to win the race.
