Red Bull's No.2 Sergio Perez is at risk of an F1 race ban after he was slapped with four penalty points on his racing licence on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Perez was then handed a penalty when replays showed he had overtaken behind the safety car when heading into the pits. Now towards the back of the pack, Perez collided with Kevin Magnussen's Haas – which earned him another penalty.<\/p>\n
