Pastor Maldonado has shrugged off comments made by Sergio Perez following a clash between the pair at the British Grand Prix, which ended the Sauber drivers race.
Perez claimed the Venezuelan “doesn’t respect other drivers”, and demanded that the stewards take action against him for “dangerous” driving [see separate story here].
The Williams driver brushed the comments off, adding that Perez “can say what he wants.”
“It was very disappointing moment,” he told the BBC. “The race was going good for us, we had good strategy. In that moment I was coming out of the pit with cold tyres.
“I was on the inside of the corner, so it was mine, Sergio was outside trying to take the position from me. I tried to defend and lost the rear of the car and we bumped tyres. It was disappointing.
“It was an unlucky race for me and that is it. Sergio can say what he wants. We are racing, we are trying to do our best. I was trying to defend, he was trying to gain and this is racing.”
