One key moment from Sergio Perez allowed Fernando Alonso to make a decisive move to get back on the podium on Sunday.
Fernando Alonso believes a ‘one metre mistake’ from Sergio Perez on the final lap helped put him in a prime position to strike back and retake third place at Interlagos on Sunday.
He lauded Perez for his role in the battle as well, praising the Red Bull driver for how he goes about wheel-to-wheel contact. “I knew that he was coming, I knew that he was a threat and at the end it was maybe more difficult than I thought, to be honest. “We went deep in the analysis. We stayed united, we stayed together, and this was a very nice thing to witness in the last two events.”
