The Mexican Sergio Pérez (Red Bull), who will start eleventh in the Hungarian Grand Prix, the thirteenth in the World Championship, declared at the Hungaroring, the circuit on the outskirts of Budapest, that “qualifying”, in which he was eliminated in the second round (Q2), “it didn’t go as expected”, but he is confident that this Sunday things will go “better”.
“Qualifying was not what I expected. I had to use a second set of tires in Q2, because my first lap was annulled for going over track limits, which it didn’t, so we got that lap time back; but that already had an impact on our session”, said ‘Checo’, born 32 years ago in Guadalajara (Jalisco) and who occupies third place in the World Cup, with 163 points, seventy less than the leader, his teammate, the Dutchman Max Verstappen.
