Perez has been summoned to the stewards over the clash with Magnussen earlier in the session.
He will finish the session, obviously, not pull over and head there right now.

Hamilton's being told to end his run and switch from the soft to the mediums, heading into the final six minutes now.
Hamilton's finished a nine-lap run.

Perez completes a 10-lap run and bolts on a new set of softs. He, like many others, are lapping in the 1m44s range.
Split tyre strategies at the moment, the majority are on the softs. But Vettel, Bottas and Ricciardo are on the mediums.
Hulkenberg is going it alone on the hard tyre.

Hamilton's a bit cross on the radio, having been stuck behind Gasly as the Toro Rosso driver exited the pitlane and hit the track.
The two Ferraris are lapping seven-eight seconds off the pace now that the focus is away from single-lap pace.
We've not mentioned Haas much, but is it going to be another day where it's baffled by the car? Grosjean is 17th and Magnussen 19th.
Ricciardo's read our last message and decided to head out. Pretty sure that's what happened, anyway.
Magnussen and Perez's incident has been noted, but that doesn't necessarily mean an investigation is incoming.
Replays show Perez going slowly as he builds up to a lap and baulks Magnussen. The two drivers take to the radio to complain about the other.
Well after that Stroll moment, it looks like the qualifying simulations are over as the garages fill up once again.
Stroll nudges the wall on the run to the final corner, causing a few sparks, but carries on seemingly unaffected.
The Racing Point driver is currently 15th.

Leclerc and Vettel are fifth and sixth currently, with third-placed Bottas and Vettel split by just over two tenths.
McLaren had been in the lower reaches of the midfield during the first runs but Sainz is up to fifth and Norris is in seventh.
And then Hamilton flies to the top, one tenth up on Verstappen, thanks to a particularly strong second sector compared to Verstappen.
And Verstappen smashes Albon's best with a 1m38.957s that's almost a second quicker than his team-mate!
Russell's now gone and placed his Williams seventh and just under 1.5s off the pace, slotting between Gasly and Vettel.
Perez remains the highest-placed of the midfield runners in fifth, remember Racing Point has brought a significant upgrade for Singapore:
