Perez says a 'really poor' stint on medium tyres contributed to his defeat to Red Bull F1 team-mate Verstappen in the MiamiGP.
Sergio Perez says a"really poor" medium tyre stint compromised his Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix as he was soundly beaten by Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen.Perez started from pole with Verstappen down in ninth after the Dutchman failed to set a time in Saturday's Q3 qualifying shootout.
Verstappen's enduring hard tyre pace allowed him to almost lead by a pitstop when he finally came in for mediums. Perez said his race was lost on his initial medium stint as the yellow-walled tyre performed worse than expected and soon suffered from graining."The first stint was really poor with the graining that we had on that initial pace. And that compromised quite a lot of our race because we didn't have too much of a difference on tyre.
"I picked the cars off one by one and then I could stay out really long on the hard tyres. And that's where we made the difference today, and then a good little battle with Checo at the end.
