Perez unhappy with ‘not ideal’ Suzuka qualifying session
Max Verstappen dominated the practice sessions in Suzuka and secured a commanding pole position, while Sergio Perez struggled to match his teammate’s pace. Perez had to use an extra set of Soft tyres in qualifying, leaving him with only one run in Q3. As a result, he ended up fifth on the timesheets. Perez acknowledged Verstappen’s strong performance and believes Red Bull’s race pace and tyre degradation will be crucial in securing a 1-2 finish in the Constructors’ Championship. However, Perez is wary of the challenge of overtaking the McLaren drivers, who are strong in the first sector.
