Sergio Perez pokes fun at Red Bull's Sky Sports boycott during awkward Las Vegas chat

Red Bull driver Sergio Perez saw the funny side of things in Las Vegas as he joked about his team's boycott of Sky Sports at last month's Mexican Grand Prix.

Perez was on stage with Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell who cheekily brought up the subject at F1's Las Vegas lavish launch party. The Red Bull driver made light of the situation by suggesting that the absence of Max Verstappen and team principal Christian Horner meant that he could talk to show host and Sky Sports commentator David Croft, nicknamed Crofty.

During the event, Russell brought up the awkward subject while stood on stage with Perez. He said: "Sorry are you allowed to ask Red Bull drivers questions, Crofty?"
