Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1.
Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he’s not on form lately?
It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times.
Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?
He was sent out on used tires, as were Alonso and Piastri. The other two barely squeaked out a good enough lap. But Perez has the best damn car under him, so no matter what, getting out of the bottom 5 in Q3 is mandatory. You can’t keep making excuses for that type of performance. Disappointing from him.
