“Pérez slightly injured in the neck after his accident in qualifying”
In English, the translation would be: "Injured last Saturday during the qualifying session, Sergio Pérez was hit in the neck during the impact. This minor injury should not prevent him from racing at Silverstone in two weeks."
Before his premature abandonment at the Canadian Grand Prix, caused by a gearbox issue on his Red Bull, Sergio Pérez had already experienced some twists and turns earlier in the weekend.
The day before, in rainy conditions during the qualifying session, in Q2, the Mexican driver sent his RB18 into the wall at turn 3. The impact may have appeared to be weak and without real danger at first glance, with the main visible consequence being his 13th place on the grid the next day.
However, the former Force India driver revealed to Fox Sports that he is suffering from a minor neck injury. « I am recovering from a neck injury because I had a severe muscle strain after the crash that I hadn’t felt. It is very painful, but overall I am doing well, everything is fine. »
Now I am working on this strain I had on my neck, I am not doing any other exercises, I am on a pure neck therapy to be 100% at Silverstone,” Pérez added.
Before the 10th race of the season in Great Britain, Sergio Pérez is still in 2nd place in the championship. The Mexican will undoubtedly participate in the weekend, but what is his physical condition?
