However, with the constant advancements in technology, it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most important tech trends that are shaping our world today.
Sergio Perez continues to struggle with disappointing performances as the Mexican driver served another underwhelming race in Canada. Despite being the closest competitor to Max Verstappen‘s championship charge, Sergio Perez‘s season has taken a significant downturn after a strong start. Regrettably, the Mexican has faced a series of lackluster performances leading up to the Canadian Grand Prix, which also proved unfavorable for him.
After a poor qualifying session, he was forced to start P12 and a Q2 exit. The race followed a similar, dismal theme after he only managed to finish in P6, behind both Ferraris. Speaking to F1TV, Perez expressed his frustration and confusion as he struggled to comprehend why he couldn’t catch up to the Ferrari team, especially considering their limited success with just one podium finish in the first eight races of the 2023 season.
He said, “I’m very, very concerned about [the inability to catch the Ferraris]. We just didn’t have the pace, and we didn’t understand why; that’s the weird thing, so we have to figure it out. We’ve got to sit down and look back because we know what we are capable of, and it’s just important for us to understand what’s going on,”.
Perez attributed his torrid outing to the tires on his RB19. He added, “We had a good start to the weekend, but we made some changes, we did the tires a little bit different, so I don’t know if there’s anything in that,”. The Mexican’s title hopes are on the brink of evaporating, with Max Verstappen securing his fourth race win in a row and Perez marking his third consecutive race without a podium.

Sergio Perez blames the Safety Car for affecting his race
Sergio Perez (Credits: The Guardian)33-year-old Perez voiced his frustration regarding the safety car interventions during the race, which disrupted his opportunities after making a decent start. George Russell hit the wall with his right rear tire at Turn 9, leading to a full safety car deployment. Additionally, Perez highlighted Logan Sargeant’s Williams coming to a stop, activating the virtual safety car for two laps. These safety car periods hindered Perez’s chances and dissatisfied him with the race’s outcome.
He elaborated, “I think the Safety Car basically took all the opportunity away, because it was looking good. We raced on that Hard tyre, and unfortunately didn’t pay it off.” Despite the impact of the safety car incidents, it is undeniable that Sergio Perez had a disappointing performance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The Mexican driver struggled to showcase his potential and perform strongly throughout the race.
He started pretty much the same positions as the Ferraris right next to Carlos Sainz, i noticed him kept losing out to both Leclerc and Sainz (in 3rd fastest car) while he is in the fastest F1 car on the grid, its time for Sergio Perez to accept the reality, it’s not they are not… pic.twitter.com/PMLG3d7Ric— ahmed baokbah 🇸🇦🏎✈️ (@ahmed_baokbah) June 19, 2023
After a series of disappointing races, Perez’s chances of mounting a title challenge seem increasingly unlikely. With Fernando Alonso closely trailing behind him with 117 points compared to his 126 points, the Red Bull driver must elevate his performance in the upcoming weeks. The pressure is mounting, and Perez needs to step up his game to stay competitive in the championship.
His teammate Verstappen contrarily seems to be in the form of his life, securing victory effortlessly with every passing race. Perez has maintained optimism in the title fight thus far. However, with a gap of 69 points to the Dutchman, it may soon be time he focuses on solidifying P2 and fending off Fernando Alonso.
