Sergio Perez has blamed a long wait at the end of the pitlane in Q1 for failing to make it out of the first part of BritishGP qualifying Full F1 story ⬇️
“I think the red flag lasted longer than we predicted initially and that didn't help for the temperature of the tyres,” he said when asked about the session by Autosport.
“It's just a shame to lose out, because we had a great Friday, the race pace was looking really good. So I think starting from the back it's going to be another race where we will try to minimise the damage.” Perez admitted that dealing with cool weather and a track transitioning from wet to dry is not his strength at the moment.
“I think in these conditions is where I struggle the most with the car,” he said. “My issues with the car become more apparent in the changeable conditions.“So I think it's something that as a group we need to get on top of and understand what we are able to do better and yeah, simple as that.”“We wanted to have him [on track] as soon as possible because there was always the chance of rain,” he told Austrian TV.
“The fact that it then took so long to recover [Magnussen's car] that his tyres cooled down completely wasn't taken into account. That was one of the reasons why he didn't reach the optimum on that lap.”
