charles leclercin Q1; Sergio Perez and George Russellin Q2; Fernando Alonso, nineth. All those drivers are out of position at the start of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix. So many alternatives are expected from the beginning.
Pérez, one of the protagonists, hopes to come back to catch “many points”. He will start eleventh and will have to overtake many rivals: “It’s frustrating, but it’s not Monaco. It’s a race in which we can compete and we can get a lot of points tomorrow.”
“I think I had some damage, it was hard, it was quite hard to put everything in the right place. I think there are a lot of cars out of position, so it can be an interesting race tomorrow,” said the Red Bull man. his partner, max verstappenachieved pole position with a lot of difference.
“I think, mainly in Turn 5, once we lost, the tires were very hot, too hot, and couldn’t get them back into a good temperature window“said the Mexican pilot.
“I had no grip on my last lap, which was a shame. The conditions were difficult, and I ended up losing the car in the fifth corner”, Pérez has sentenced.
The Mexican cannot be allowed more concessions in the world. Especially if he wants to continue competing for the world championship with his partner. He is 39 points behind Max… and that difference could widen this weekend if he is again far from his partner on the grid.
