Sergio Perez endured another difficult qualifying session at the Canadian Grand Prix and has now gone three rounds without a Q3 appearance.
Sergio Perez explained that his lack of pace during qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix was due to a lack of confidence with the rear of his car. Following recent difficulties, Perez started the Montreal race in 16th place on the grid. He mentioned that the main issue was not being able to switch on the rear axle, leading to a lack of grip and sliding too much. The change in track conditions due to rainfall before qualifying made it challenging for Perez to generate the required tire temperature. Despite the disappointing qualifying result, Perez pointed out that there were areas they could have improved on, but ultimately, they were lacking pace. Moving forward, he emphasized the need to evaluate the strategy based on weather conditions.
