Sauber Sergio Perez is replaced by Pedro De La Rosa

The Mexican rookie Perez who suffered a crash at the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks back was very confident to race at the Montreal Grand Prix.

After the Friday’s first practice took place, he suffered a pain and so he confirmed that he will not be able to continue to race this weekend.

Moreover, he added "Of course I wanted to drive and I had no doubt I was all right, but apparently this is unfortunately not the case”.

Although he had gone through medical checkups on Thursday where FIA medical delegate Jean Charles Piette declared him fit.


Due to the absence of their reserve driver Esteban Gutierrez they called Pedro De La Rosa’s who was dropped by Sauber last year at the end of the season. As he drove for them last year and so it was very obvious that they would call him for the race. Pedro De La Rosa is a test driver for McLaren this year.

However,we will see him driving today alongside Kamui Kobayashi at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
