In a thrilling Q2 session, drivers faced the challenge of having their lap times deleted due to exceeding track limits, particularly at the final corner (Turn 10) where they tend to push the boundaries on the exit towards the start/finish straight.
Unfortunately, Perez fell victim to the rules and saw his quickest lap time wiped off the timing board, leaving him frustrated.
He vented his frustration over the team radio: “No way! F**k. Can we go again? What a f***ing joke with the track limits.”
The Mexican driver will have to start from P15 on the grid for the upcoming Grand Prix on Sunday. This means he will once again find himself in a recovery mode, aiming to minimize the points gap with his teammate and championship rival, Max Verstappen.
As Max Verstappen continues to dominate the Formula 1 circuit, the pressure on Sergio Perez is mounting. The Austrian team relies on Perez to contribute crucial points towards securing the Constructor’s championship.
With Red Bull’s eyes set on the ultimate prize, Perez’s performance becomes vital. The team needs him to showcase his skills and deliver consistent results on the track.
