Looking at the reaction of the six-time race winner, it is quite clear that he is utterly disappointed with his performance in Montreal. However, he understands that what’s done is done and thus, is looking forward to hitting his marks from Barcelona onwards. His teammate, Max Verstappen scored a sensational win in the Canadian GP.

Perez retired from the Canadian GP after smashing the rear of his RB20 into the barriers.

When the conditions change, he finds it much more difficult. But the fact that it’s already the third time is painful.

Via his comments, the 80-year-old has talked about the fact that Sergio Perez has already been knocked out in Q1 three times after just nine races. This comes as a huge shock to him keeping in view the might of Red Bull’s RB20.
