Sergio Perez was left to rue that “nothing really worked” during his eventful afternoon at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with the Mexican having to fight his way back to P11 following a first-lap spin branded “annoying” by Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
Sunday morning’s qualifying session – which had been postponed from Saturday due to the inclement weather conditions – did not go well for the team as both Perez and team mate Max Verstappen found themselves eliminated in Q2, having been unable to improve after Lance Stroll crashed in the final moments, triggering a red flag.

This put Perez in P12 on the grid, but the 34-year-old dropped to the back of the field after spinning during the opening lap. From there he attempted to work his way forwards during a chaotic race and engaged in a close fight with RB’s Liam Lawson and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton in the latter stages.
However, after going wide whilst trying to get past Lawson for ninth place, Perez was then overtaken by Hamilton and ultimately missed out on scoring points in 11th.
