Sergio Perez aims for the top, hits Kimi.

The Iceman lost his cool after Monaco after being punted in the side by McLarens new driver, proclaiming that the Mexican doesn't need a talking to by the other drivers, but rather a "punch in the face" but however much I'd love to watch F1 drivers scuffle like they did in the old days, we need to look at what Perez actually did before I dive right in with the bell.

Perez is in a new team, a high-end team and has a lot to prove, he has to show that he can battle with the big boys and handle the pressure McLaren puts on it's drivers.

His overtakes on Button and Alonso were spectacularly close, and whilst my dad was screaming at the TV that he is a violent menace who should  be taken off the grid, I disagree.

Perez's overtake on Button goes right back to Bahrain, where the two were wheel-to-wheel for several laps, almost crashing each other out, they are both good racers, who leave just enough room. This form of driving however relies on having complete trust in your opponent.

In the red corner!

Perez always knew Button would give room, it's what he does, Alonso has a championship to think about, and whilst the Spaniards penalty (Or having to give the place back that he never technically lost) was a bit harsh as he was only avoiding an accident, he still complied with Perez.

Kimi however doesn't move, he things he had the place, he did and he wanted to keep it. Perez's move was far later than normal on Kimi, a late dive down the inside, where there was no space. Kimi was
right to do what he did, and in my opinion did nothing wrong, but neither did Perez.

Perez tried to make a quick dive, as he did with Button and Alonso, but they moved and complied, Kimi didn't, it's exactly what Schumacher used to do,  with a you move out my way, or we crash attitude. Perez is a racer, and I expect him to do just that, he can't expect everyone to dive out the way all the time, and I think now he's learnt that.

All I can say is I look forward to watching Perez battle a bit more in the future, and hopefully he'll learn that not everyone will dive out the way all the time, when you try to out-brake from behind you run a huge risk. In the mean time, I'll get out the boxing gloves.

Ding ding.
