Explaining what happened in qualifying, Perez said: “It was quite difficult. We’ve been playing around with the car. We started wel꧑l with a nice balance in FP1. FP2 was very difficult.

“Sinc🐽e then it hܫas been tough because we have been making a few changes here and there but nothing seems to transform the balance.

"Then it just made it worse that I couldn🌠't do my final attempt. I had a massive under delivery from the engine. It kicked really hard, and I ended up losing the car. It's a shame, a massive shame.”
