Reviewing the two practice sessions, and whether any progress was made between FP1 and FP2, he sighed: “I think we improved a little bit, but still we are lacking quite a lot of balance. It’s quite difficult out there to put a lap together, [so] it’s not looking great at the moment.”
Perez went on to comment that the level of Red Bull’s struggles “took us by surprise” despite the problems they faced at the Marina Bay Street Circuit last season.
