Perez was knocked out in Q1 after sꦅtr🐼uggling for pace throughout qualifying.

Speak𒆙ing to media in Mexico, where are pres൲ent in the paddock, Perez explained how an ongoing brake issue is impacting his form.

“Yeah I’m been struggling quite a bit with braking,” he said. “Every time I try to brake and attack the braking, I just put too 🍎much energy through the tires, and that makes it very tricky for me to stop the car.

“It’s been there for the last three races, where I cannot stop the car. I’m having to modulate quite a lot my braking, and that’s something we can see in the data, but we are not aܫble to fix it at the moment.”

Perez was heard complaining abou😼t the handling of his RB20 in low-speed corners and his inability to rotate the car.

He added: “It’s mainly on a straight line, the issue that we’re facing. It’s mainly on a🧜 straight line. I cannot stop the car.

“I just slide too much. Given that it’s all surface sensitivity here, it makes it a lot ha♎rder.”

Perez will start the race from♊ 18th on the grid as he looks to give h🌼is home crowd something to shout about.

The Mexican concꦛededꩵ that the brake issue is likely to impact him on Sunday.

“It’s going to be harder, because it’s also present t✅here in the long runs. I will try everyt👍hing, I will try and see what we are able to do with the team, and see what solutions we are able to find,” he added.

“It’s obviously very disappointing. It’s a grand prix I ꦰwant to do really well, it’s this one. Unfortunately it’s been really difficult and tricky, this event.”
