During the initial qualifying session at Silverstone on Saturday afternoon, rain interfered with the proceedings. As the wet conditions subsided, a dry line emerged, leading to a rush to switch to soft tyres before Q1 closed. Despite the switch to softs, Perez slid off the track at Copse due to the treacherous conditions. Amid questions about his performance and future with Red Bull, Perez denied pressure as the cause. Despite reports of a performance clause jeopardizing his seat, Perez maintained focus on Sunday’s race rather than crisis talks with the team principals. Perez acknowledged the challenging task ahead starting from 19th on the grid but expressed confidence in his ability to turn things around based on his experience in the sport.
