Sergio Perez explains what went wrong in woeful Qatar sprint qualifying
Red♉ Bull's Sergio Perez only 16th in sprint qualifying at F1 Qat𒆙ar Grand Prix

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez endured another terrible session in qualifying for the sp🦂rint race in Qatar.
The under-fire Red Bull driver coul🅺d only manage the 16th-fastest time on Friday in Qatar.
He was eliminated in the first 🦋part of qualifying for the second weekend in a row.
Asked what went wrong, Perez explained: “Unfortunately we left 𓂃a ꦇlittle bit late.
“W൩e had an issue with one of the anti-roll bars, and then to get my final lap we were all opening gaps.
“Then Charles Leclerc came and we were fighting into Turn 1 ಌand so on, so we lost a couple of tenths there.
“It was enough to be knocked oꦓut, which was a shame because I thought we r🗹eally progressed with the car from P1 to qualifying, we had a lot more potential and it's a shame that we just ended up here.”
Perez was askeღd if he was confident about making prog𝄹ress through the grid from 16th.
“I tꦇhink it’s going to be very difficult,” he admitted.
“For now we will focus on the r𒐪est of the weekend. In such a short race I don't think there will be a lot that we can do. But yeah, we will try.”
♏Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen was sixth in sprint qualifying at the F1 Qatar Grand Pri🍃x.
Perez might be relieved to see RB driver Yuki Tsunoda, one of the conte𒀰nders to replace him at Red Buဣll, only 17th.
Tsunoda’s teammate Liam Lawson was 10th.
The RB pair, and Williams’ Franco Colapinto, are among the drivers being c⛎onsidered to replace Perez at Red Bull in൲ 2025.
Despera𝔉tely requiring a big round, his weekend in Qatar has started in the worst possible way with a drab performance ♌in sprint qualifying.
The sprint race, then qualifying for 𝐆the grand prix, are on Saturday.
