Sergio Perez (Red Bull Racing) took second place on the podium in the final of the 2022 F1 Round 10 British Grand Prix.

Sergio Perez on the 4th grid was delayed in accelerating the start and was overtaken by Fernando Alonso to drop to 5th. However, the red flag was posted before all cars passed the second safety car line, so the rest of the cars will be restarted on the grid in the original starting order.

At the second start, Charles Leclerc jumps into the inside of Sergio Perez on the approach of Turn 4 and aims for overtaking. Leclerc and Perez come into contact and the front wing of Perez is damaged. Perez, who lost a part of the front wing, had difficulty in defending 4th, and when he made a pit stop after the 5th lap and got a new wing and medium tires, he returned to the course in 17th at the end.

Sergio Perez moved up the position with rage while the other drivers entered the pits, and on lap 22, he returned to 8th place in 1.9 seconds to Ocon. On lap 35, when Lando Norris made a pit stop and changed to hard tires, he moved up to 4th. However, Perez has to enter the pit once more due to the obligation to use tires.

Then, on lap 38, Esteban Ocon suddenly slowed down and stopped the machine at the old pit straight. A safety car will be introduced. This safety car favored Sergio Perez, who got a free stop and kept 4th when he changed to soft tires.

Sergio Perez was thin with Lewis Hamilton when the safety car left after lap 42. Then, on Turn 4, he boldly set up and killed Hamilton from the inside.

From here, a fierce battle for 2nd place will take place. Carlos Sainz, who took the lead, widened the lead to 4 seconds, while Leclerc, Perez and Hamilton fought fiercely for position, but on lap 46 Perez moved up to 2nd place over Ferrari and Mercedes. Checker as it is. Won the podium.

“It was a very confusing weekend, but today was a good day,” said Sergio Perez.

“I wasn’t in 100% good condition this week, and I fell to the end on the first lap today, so it’s a great result to finish the race in 2nd place.”

“I was really unlucky to have come into contact with Charles (Leclerc) on the first lap. I had to go down to the end because the front wing was damaged. I feel good because I got such a result. “

“I’m very happy about Carlos (Sainz). It’s good to celebrate his first victory together on the podium. It was a happy moment for him and his family.”

“I really enjoyed the race today. I fought hard and fair and it felt like a kart era. Everyone was really hard pushing and it was a close race. My heart rate was pretty good in the last few laps. It was expensive. It was an important race to never give up. “
