Sergio Perez all but matched Max Verstappen in qualifying at Suzuka - a very different scenario from the last race held at the track just over six months ago...
Sergio Perez ’s performance in Suzuka has seen the Mexican all but match Max Verstappen, in a big turnaround from last year’s disastrous weekend.
While appearing to retire from the race, Red Bull sent Perez back out on track to serve the five-second time penalty he’d been given for the incident, before retiring from the race again. The bet Perez had made with Horner was over whether or not Red Bull could lock out the front row and, having done so, Perez laughed back at his boss to say: “Now you see how to motivate me”.
“We were playing around with the car far too much, and just going through it. Now we have a much better base. We are a lot happier and the weekends just progress. “I think that’s been the case for this year. So yeah, I’m a lot more comfortable, a lot more happier, and the confidence is slowly coming back.”With Perez finishing less than a tenth off the pace set by Verstappen as the Dutch driver claimed his 36th career pole position, he revealed his delight at how the qualifying session had played out for him.
