Perez gives a remarkable explanation to the strange moment in the pit lane

It looked like Sergio Perez was asleep at the start of the sprint race in Qatar, but it appears to have been all on purpose. The light at the end of the pit lane had been turned green but Perez, who like Franco Colapinto started from the pit lane, did not leave immediately. The Mexican explained to Viaplay that it was done that way on purpose.
