Red Bull boss Horner believes Perez was left 'unsettled' by his off during Q2 before the final run that left him out of the top 10 in SpanishGP qualifying.
Red Bull Formula 1 boss Christian Horner believes Sergio Perez being left"unsettled" by his off during Q2 in Spanish GP qualifying led to the Mexican being knocked out.Having started last in Monaco after a crash in Q1, Perez again had a torrid time in Barcelona, scraping through to Q2 in 15th place and then going off into the gravel at Turn 5 late in Q2.
"I think it's a matter of just picking him up. I mean, the points are scored on Sunday. It's obviously harder for him starting from that grid position, but he can still have a great race from there. "I think it's going to be fascinating strategy-wise to see who picks what strategy, who picks what tyres for the start of the grand prix.
"I think mainly it was Turn 5," he said of his difficult session."Once we lost it, the tyres were too warm, too hot, and I couldn't get them back to a good temperature window, and I just didn't have the grip on my final lap, which was a shame.
