Sergio Perez lost third place to Fernando Alonso by 0.053s!
Beaten by Fernando Alonso on the last lap of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Helmut Marko says Sergio Perez paid the price for a “mistake” out of Turn 3 that allowed the Aston Martin to close in.
“In hindsight you’re smarter,” he told Sky Deutschland when asked if Perez could’ve done things differently. “Since Austin, the pace has been right in both qualifying and the race,” said Marko. “We now have a commanding lead over Hamilton of almost 30 points. That should now work out for second place.”Alonso revealed he thought his chances of beating Perez to the podium were lost then the 33-year-old overtook him on the penultimate lap.
