Sergio Perez has explained his DNF from the Qatar Grand Prix. The Mexican driver span at a safety car restart, ending his day early.
Things were looking good at the time for me, I was sitting in P5 and we were in the mix for the podium,” he said. “Then as I was warming up the tyre, getting ready for the restart, I had a massive overdelivery as I was picking up the throttle out of turn 12.
“With cold tyres, I couldn’t control it, it basically meant I lost the car and then lost drive from that point onwards. It is quite disappointing to end up like this. There were some positive signs for me this weekend with performance and I think we have learnt a lot from the car this weekend and found good direction.
“I think the season hasn’t been great for me, there has been a lot of up and downs and we have a few things to review there. We are all in this together as a Team and we are trying to get our season back on track, hopefully, Abu Dhabi can do that and we can have a strong weekend.”
