Christian Horner frustrated by Sergio Perez’s mistake
Sergio Perez crashed during his first timed lap at the Hungarian Grand Prix. His team manager is frustrated by the driver's mistake.
Sergio Perez hit the wall in this first free practice session. An accident that caused the first red flag of the session.
The Mexican braked with a tire on the grass in turn 5, sending the Red Bull straight into the wall. Christian Horner reacted to his driver’s accident, who is second in the world championship.
« It is obviously frustrating to have had this accident, » he comments on the microphone of Sky Sports F1. « It was unfortunate. He just put a wheel on the grass and made a mistake at turn 5. I hope he didn’t lose too much time because in these conditions, people weren’t doing many laps. But this is not the ideal way to start the weekend. You could hear the frustration in his voice, he raised his hands. That’s how it is, » continues the director of the Red Bull team.
This accident could nevertheless undermine the pilot’s confidence. Let’s remember that the number 11 of the Austrian team hasn’t made it to Q3 since the Miami Grand Prix.
