Helmut Marko said he had warned Sergio Perez against the exact move he made which led to him having to retire from the Austrian Grand Prix.
Perez's race was over after the first few corners, following a collision with George Russell. The Red Bull star attempted to overtake on the outside of Turn 4, but was clipped by the understeering Mercedes on the exit and was sent skidding into the gravel trap.
The Mexican managed to avoid his car getting beached and limped round to the pits for a change of tyres. But he had fallen a long way behind the rest of the pack, and picked up so much damage that, after a while, the team decided it would be best to just retire the car.
