P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Red Bull driver was classified fourth but felt even more was possible in Austin.
Sergio Perez believes that Red Bull missed out on opportunities at the United States Grand Prix due to a lack of aggressiveness with their strategy. Despite starting ninth on the grid, Perez managed to climb up to fifth place at the Circuit of the Americas. He was challenging Carlos Sainz for fourth place when it was announced that Lewis Hamilton had been disqualified, bumping him up to a podium position. Perez lamented the team’s conservative approach and mentioned missed opportunities for undercuts during the race. Nevertheless, his fourth-place finish strengthens his position in the fight for second place in the Drivers’ Championship, as his lead over Hamilton has increased from 19 to 39 points.
