In Formula 1, all drivers have one goal; break records. Well the one that Sergio Perez just fell in Qatar is not ready to be beaten.
Sergio Perez, the ultimate driver
The Qatar sprint race was not decisive for the drivers' world championship, as Max Verstappen was crowned a fourth time in Las Vegas. From then on, only the constructors' title is still at stake, with McLaren ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull. The Austrian team therefore has a great interest in garnering as many points as possible in Qatar if it wants to hope to retain its crown. But from qualifying, Sergio Perez has his own plan to achieve this.
Indeed, the Mexican was eliminated in SQ1, a top performance, especially since his great rival for the wheel next season, Liam Lawson, managed to climb into SQ3. But Verstappen's teammate does not stop there. As he decides to leave the pits to make modifications to his car, Sergio is still talking to us about Perez. As the light turns green in the pit lane, the Mexican contemplates it without flinching. Colapinto takes the opportunity to drop him off on site. In the history of Formula 1, no driver has ever been overtaken in the pit lane during a start. High level.
While he was languishing in the depths of the standings, his team took the opportunity to call him back to the pits and change his front wing in order to obtain data on the car. Yes, Perez's sprint race turned into a free practice session. The ultimate humiliation.
