Sergio Perez is not worried about being under investigation for not slowing enough under a double-yellow flag during Q2.
After Nico Rosberg's controversial pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix, drivers were told to treat double-yellow flags as red flags and made it mandatory to dramatically reduce their speeds.

Although to some it appeared as though Perez did not do this, he is confident he slowed down enough to escape without a penalty.
"It was a very tricky session with everything," Perez told reporters after qualifying. "I had three yellow flags on my lap so I was lifting a lot, I lost around six-tenths with yellow flags."
"And at the end with Esteban [Gutierrez] he was just very slow so I just managed to keep the line and he obviously was on a very slow lap so he opened up the racing line. Obviously on that certain occasion I lost four-tenths because I had to lift. So I think we have all the data that backs me up so there’s no issue at all."
"At the end of the day you have the telemetry that the stewards will check and I have no problem."
