Sergio Perez the Red Bull Formula One driver has shed light on his exploits during the Austria Qualifying and has indicated that he isn’t very happy with how things panned out for him and believe he should have been closer to Max Verstappen’s time.
Sergio Perez struggled for the right balance during the FP1 session and was seen complaining on the radio about it. Moreover, things did not improve for the Mexican during the Quali session, and at the end of it, has now found himself in P4 behind Verstappen and more importantly behind the red-blood Ferrari’s.
Perez while talking about his Qualifying said, “From the first free practice it didn’t feel great, so we needed some time to understand the car. Hopefully, we will be better tomorrow.”
The 32-year-old despite today’s lackluster performance feels that he can make a difference tomorrow and can get himself in a position from where he would be able to do a solid race for the team on Sunday.
Perez further added, “I wasn’t able to get into the rhythm, so we still need to master things better. We have the sprint race tomorrow and the GP on Sunday, so we need to keep our heads up and push hard for tomorrow’s sprint and make some good progress to get the best possible position for Sunday’s race.”
Max Verstappen had a way better outing than Sergio Perez
Max Verstappen was the crowd favorite at the Red Bull ring and people were expecting him to put on a show for them and the Dutchman certainly did!
Max was flawless during all three sessions of Qualifying and was able to string up solid times lap after lap. While Perez struggled with balance, Max didn’t and was able to secure his third pole position of the season.
Moreover, while talking about his Qualifying outing Verstappen said, “My turns 1 and 3 were not the best, so I knew the rest of the lap had to be pretty spot on to get pole. I think especially the last sector was a lot better than what I showed before. That was also more on the edge, towards the limits of the track.”
Max Verstappen is starting tomorrow’s Sprint race from pole position and fans are going to have huge expectations from him again, would Max be able to finish tomorrow’s race in P1?
