“This mistake hurts a lot, especially for my whole team. Tomorrow is a new opportunity and it’s important to never give up,”Sergio Perez commented on his social media following a disastrous qualifying session, which ended with an error in Q1, placing him 19th on the grid.

Perez faces another setback: car number 11 will start from the pit lane after a complete power unit change. This complication means he will struggle even more in the early stages of the race, with colder tires compared to those starting from the grid.
