Sergio Perez finished last in the Qatar sprint, having started from the pit lane.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner expressed bewilderment following Sergio Perez’s error during the Qatar sprint race. Perez had to start from the pit lane due to a suspension setup change by Red Bull during parc ferme. Franco Colapinto from Williams also made changes and ended up starting near Perez. Despite starting behind Perez at the pit lane exit, Colapinto managed to overtake him on the track. Horner attributed Perez’s mistake to misjudgment and emphasized the importance of reacting to the green light. The race ended disappointingly for Perez, finishing last after a late pit-stop for a new front wing. Horner defended the decision to pit, stating it was part of the team’s testing process to gather valuable data for future sessions.
