Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1.

Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he’s not on form lately?

It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times.

Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?

    I think Perez looks a bit uncomfortable in the wet. Wasn’t it Canada quali as well where he just couldn’t find the grip and bailed on the dry tires to make his attempt on Inters when all the fast runners in Q2 were using softs?

      Yeah well remembered about Canada in those wet conditions. Perez definitely seems to lack confidence in the wet, at least during qualifying. Not sure if he was the same prior to Red Bull or whether it’s something about the car in such conditions that really doesn’t suit him.
