Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat has lost his points fini𒈔sh at the United States Grand Prix after being🦩 penalised for colliding with Sergio Perez.

Kvyat finished 10th on the road but was han🔯ded a five-second time penalty for clashing with Racing Point’s Sergio Perez at Turn 15 in the cl👍osing stages of the Austin race.

It marks the second consecutive weekend in a row that Kvyat has🔜 been relegated out of the points for a post-race penalty.

The Russian was demoไted to 11th at last weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix after he tangled with Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg on the last lap of the race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The p😼enalty means Perez has claimed the final point on offer in 10th place, 🐼with Kvyat subsequently dropping down to 12th and behind Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen in the final race classification.

An FIA statement read: “Car 11 w▨as in front immediately prior to the apex of the corner, car 26 “dived” down the inside, had a small lock up and bounced off the kerb, which moved the 🎉car to the outside of the exit of the corner, colliding with car 11.”

Kvyat has also been handed one penalty point on his super lic🙈ence, taking his current 12-month period total up to five.

The second Toro R♔osso of Pierre Gasly was also caught up in a collision with Perez as the pair battled over ninth. The Frenchman ultimately fell down to 16th with damage as a result of the contact.

Perez's point for 10th place moves him withiꦬn two points of ninth-pla🌼ced Daniel Ricciardo in the drivers' championship.
