Sergio Perez stumbled at the Q1 stage for the third time this season at Silverstone...
Red Bull senior advisor Helmut Marko pointed to the timing of a switch to slick tyres as an “excuse” for Sergio Perez after a fresh Q1 exit at Silverstone, with race progress predicted to be limited.was among the first drivers to take the plunge by swapping to dry tyres in Q1, but it was a choice which soon backfired.Perez would go sliding into the gravel down at Turn 9, his Red Bull beached as he triggered the red flags.
“It doesn’t help to get out of this low. Thank God you can overtake halfway, but from P19 I don’t see much chance of getting into the points.”Perez’s team-mate and World Championship leader Max Verstappen meanwhile will start P4, the Dutchman having damaged the underside of his Red Bull RB20 after going through the gravel at Copse during Q1, ultimately eliminating him from the pole battle.
“Max went off course in Turn 9 and had damage that was around 100 points in the range of downforce lost,” said Marko.
