After spinning two podiums, Pérez aimed to repeat among the top three, but this time a fails in his car he marginalized him from that possibility, since every time he tried to attack the Spanish Carlos Sáinz it was not enough to compete.
Faced with such a situation, from the paddock they tried to reassure himalthough the words were dismissed by the upset Red Bull driver.
“I’m losing potency, how can you say it’s good?”without making up his discomfort.
“You lost the slipstream, you have gone back and lost the slipstream”answered the engineer with whom he worked.
“Man I’m losing power. Look at my tension line, I’m looking for three seconds to go”, said the impotent Checo, who at the end of the event insisted that the problems with his car kept him from the possibility of achieving another good result.
“I mightn’t do anything, I had too much engine deficit, I was pushing a lot in the corners and I mightn’t get to Carlos Sáinz. He had to push a lot in the corners because he had no power on the straightsnot even with the DRS might I reach Carlos,” he said in a later interview.
