Eighth place: the outcome of the first two free practice sessions of the Qatar GP can be briefly described in this way Sergio Perez, arrived in this placement at the end of both exits on the new Losail circuit. An absolute novelty for many drivers today engaged in Formula 1, but not for the Mexican of Red Bull; Verstappen’s teammate, in fact, won in Qatar in 2009, imposing himself in Race-2 of the GP2 Asia.
Twelve years after that success, Perez returned to comment on the characteristics of Losail together with the result obtained at the end of the first day of testing, thus analyzing his not entirely positive return to Qatar: “I drove here when I was younger – has explained Checo – and it’s slowly coming back to me, but I don’t think I have any advantage over all the other riders. I think we got off to a good start today, but we made some changes over the course of the sessions. Furthermore, we must necessarily review some aspects, especially those related to soft rubber “.
“The margins are very tight, so let’s hope we can be competitive for tomorrow night’s qualifying. It is an interesting place, which presents a lot of diversity from day to night. It is not an easy track and by the way, we expect the wind to change tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see what happens. I think we have some work to do overnight, we are not entirely happy with the balance of the car, so we will try to change it before morning. The qualification will be decisive – concluded the Mexican – therefore we will try to get the best from the analysis of PL2 during the evening in order to relaunch ”.
