Sergio Perez's current Formula 1 qualifying woes are 'psychological', according to Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, following the Mexican's Q1 exit at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The recently re-signed Perez, whose new two-year deal with Red Bull was announced on Tuesday, followed up his exit in the opening stage of qualifying two weeks ago in Monaco with a similar vein of misfortune at Montreal. He qualified only 16th in Canada, having been dumped into the drop zone by Alex Albon.
Last year's championship runner-up reckoned that his issues in qualifying stemmed from a lack of comfort with the rear end of his RB20, particularly in the changeable conditions.
