Carlos Sainz has been summoned to appear before Azerbaijan Grand Prix stewards for allegedly impeding Sergio Perez in Free Practice 2.

With the Red Bull of Perez on a fast lap, Sainz was slow through Turn 13, the fast-left kink after the exit of the castle section, with Perez forced to take avoiding action. 

As a result, the stewards have ordered the Ferrari driver to attend at 18:45 local time - 15:45 UK time. 

Perez finished second practice in second place, just 0.006s behind pace-setter Charles Leclerc with Sainz in fourth, about half-a-second down on his team-mate in the sister Ferrari.
