The Red Bull driver was one of the few dr♌ivers to pull off an overtake as he passed Lance S🤡troll on Lap 10 of the 18-lap race on his way to finishing ninth in F1’s second-ever running of the experimental shake-up to the weekend format.

But after trialing the format at both Silverstone and Monza, Perez had nothing positive to say about sprint quali🦩fying in its current guise.

“Just very boring, ൲very boring,” said Pe🎶rez when asked for his view on Saturday’s 100km race that determined the grid for the Italian Grand Prix.

“There’s 🌜nothing happening in it and I don’t see theꦑ benefit of having the sprint race.

“I can imagine it’s also boring for fans as its boring for drivers. It🃏 doesn’t bring anything to be honest.”

Many drivers had feared Monza w♓ould not provide much entertainment in the sprint and would ultimately result in the field running in a DRS train after things had settled down following the opening lap.

And Perez feels the lack of ac𝕴tion can be put down to the difficulties of overtaking in the current generation of F1 cars without a big lap time delta.

“The problem that we have is that with the current Formula 1 cars, to actually overtake you need a very big delta. And to achieve that you have to have some kind of degradation,𝓰” Perez explained.

“I think they are pi⛎cking the wrong tracks as well, but I don’t know where it can be a good place to try.

“The problem is it’s too short and you don’t feel any degradation. I don’t know [how to impr♚ove it], maybe with the DRS [use rules] or something like that. That would be good.”

However, F1 managing directo🦩r Ross Brawn defended Saturday’s ꦍsprint, saying there was “plenty of action” throughout.

“The whole weekend evolving,” said Brawn. “We’ve got a three-stage weekend. We’ve got quite a different complexion on the race tomorrow than what we thought we had after qualifying on Friday. I tಞhink it’s great in that respect.

“A little bit quiet at the front of the gr🀅id, but then you get that in races anyway. Plenty of action in the middle, and plenty of action at the start. So I think it’s a𒊎dded to the whole weekend.”
