Sergio Perez wants to win in Spain to make up for his Monaco nightmare
In Monaco, Sergio Perez fell significantly behind Max Verstappen in the championship. Arriving with a deficit of 14 points, the Mexican driver now finds himself 39 points behind. The Red Bull driver aims to make up ground in Spain to prevent Verstappen from running away.
Sergio Perez endured a true ordeal on the streets of Monaco. After a mistake during the qualifying session, the Mexican started from last position. In difficult conditions, the championship’s second-place driver was unable to make his way through the cars to finish in the points. This result is a blow to the championship as he now finds himself 39 points behind his teammate and the leader.
A “disastrous” Monaco Grand Prix
With this delay, the Mexican wishes to bounce back in Barcelona. It’s an opportunity for him to regain some of Max Verstappen’s lead. Monaco was a disaster… Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Sergio Perez is therefore aiming for this weekend in Barcelona to make a fresh start. This weekend will be all about restarting in the right direction. I want to make sure I come back to the right standards, declared Sergio Perez.
The Red Bull driver feels indebted to his team after this disappointment in the principality. The Mexican is aware of his team’s efforts, which is why Barcelona must be a fresh start for Sergio Perez.
“I want to redeem myself with my team, who are doing a great job with a good result in Barcelona,” said the Mexican before the Spanish Grand Prix.
Gain in consistency
Sergio Perez has self-assessed regarding his solutions to defeat Max Verstappen and make a comeback in the championship. This comeback could start as early as this Sunday in Barcelona. For him, consistency must be a key factor in eventually becoming a threat to the championship.
(I) I have to be consistent to maintain pressure on Max Verstappen. I mostly need to win and get a few victories. If I can do it in the right way, then I can win, which is the goal, as always, (said Sergio Perez). (I) I just have to make sure I have a perfect weekend.
Sergio Perez knows he holds the cards to compete at the forefront. His goal is to extract the maximum from his car while maintaining consistency and avoiding any mistakes, like in Monaco.
“We know that we have the fastest car. If I am having a good day, I could aim for the victory,” Sergio Perez stated.
