168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez c🍎reated a brief ray of light amid the gloom on a day to forget in Qatar.

His error in the sprint race which irked Red Bull boss Christian Horner preceded a better qualifying run, where he finished ni♈nth.

But the spotlight cꦯ💟ontinues to shine on the under-fire Red Bull driver who could lose his race seat.

“I guess that’s all we can say, at this point. He made it t🅺hrough,” Naomi Schiff analy✅sed for Sky Sports.

“He is still nine tenths off his teammate.

“Perez is an unhappy drive𝓡r in that car. Something doesn’🍎t gel. He doesn’t unlock the confidence within himself when piloting this car.

“It must🌳 be super frustrating. I can’t imagine what it’s like to turn 🌳up to work and constantly feel like you’re a second off the pace of your teammate.

“We struggle to find positive things to say.”

Anthony Dav𒅌idson added: “It must be soul destroying.

“Every time he gets in the car, instead of thinking ‘maybe I will be on pole position’, he thinks ‘I wonder h🌠ow far behind I will be’.

“The gap has got bigg🍬er even though the car has improved and become easier🔴 to drive.”

Christian Horner dismayed at Sergio Perez

Horner appeared briefly lost for words at 🥀Sergio Perez’𒀰s error in the sprint race in Qatar.

Perez qualified for the sprint at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix from 16th, owing🎀 to a poor session on Friday, then had to start from the pitlane for a parc ferme infringement.

The Red Bull driver was then overtaken by Williams’ Franco Colapinto, who💟 also started in the pit lane, after a slow reaction to the green light.

Red Bull team princip๊al Horner shook his head and, for a moment, struggled to find the right words to describe the mistake.

“I don’t know,” he told Sky Sports. “I need to have chat with h𝓀im abo🌺ut him.

“It looked like he just misjudged it.”

Grinning awkwardly, Horner added: “But when the light goes out, you’🍸re supposed to go…”

Perez finished the sprint race in 20th.

Red Bull turnaround in Qatar

“We’ve got a bit ofܫ a mountain to climb,” Horner sighed after a poor sprint race.

“You✨ can turn things around, you can chang⭕e the car…”

Red Bull then drew plaudits for somehow fixing their drab weeken🧸d in qualifying for the grand prix on Saturday.

Max Verstappen turned P6 in the sp🍌rint into unexpectedly claiming pole posit🌳ion in qualifying, although he was later hit with a one-place grid penalty for driving unnecessarily slowly.

Perez qualified for the grand prix in ninth 🌳which put his boss Horner in a better mood.

“He’s had a better sessionꦿ there. Getting into𒊎 Q3 is a positive,” Horner told Sky Sports.

“The delta is still significant but i🐻t’s progress for Checo.

“Hopefu🐬lly he has a good race and we’ll keep pushing as hard as we can until th♏e chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.”

Perez said: “🧸We have made good progress. I really hope we have pace in the mai🀅n race to score points.

“I really hope we can go all the way through the pack. The ღpace was more promising in qualifying. Th🔜e direction we went with the car was more promising.”
