168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez created a brief ray of light 𒐪amid the gloom on a da🦹y to forget in Qatar.

His error in the sprint race which irked Red Bull boss Christ♛ian Horner preceded a better qualifying run, where he finished ninth.

But the spotlight continues 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 through,” Naomi Schiff analysed for Sky Sports.

“He is still nine tenths off his teammate.

“Per🧸ez🍸 is an unhappy driver 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 co𒅌nsta𝓀ntly feel like you’re a second off the pace of your teammate.

“We struggle to find positive things to say.”

Antꦬhony Davidson added: “It must be soul destroying.

“Every time he gets in the ca♛r, instead of thinkin🧜g ‘maybe I will be on pole position’, he thinks ‘I wonder how far behind I will be’.

“The gap has got bigger even though the car has impro🍬ved and become easier to drive.”

Christian Horner dismayed at Sergio Perez

Horner appeared briefly l🍷ost for words at Sergio Perez’s 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 h𒀰ad to start from the pitlane for a parc ferme infringement.

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

Red Bull team principal Horner shook his head and, for a moment, struggled to find the right words to describe the mistak🗹e.

“I don’t know,ღ” 🌳he told Sky Sports. “I need to have chat with him about 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 of a mount♌ain to climb,” Horner sighed af𝐆ter a poor sprint race.

“You can turn thꦰings around, you c༺an change the car…”

Red Bull then drew plaudits for somehow fixing their drab we🥀ekend in qualifying for the grand prix on Saturday.

Max Verstappen turned P6 in the sprint into unexpectedly cl🔥aiming pole position in qualifying, although he was later hit with a one-place grid penalty for driving unnecessarily slowly.

Perez qua🃏lified for the grand prix in ninth which put his boss Horner in a better m🌳ood.

“He’s had a better session theꦇre. Getting into Q🤡3 is a positive,” Horner told Sky Sports.

“The delta is still significant ♊but it’s progress for Checo.

“Hopefully he has a good race and we’ll keep pushing as hard as we can until the chequered flag in Abu Dh🐼abi.”

Perez said: “We have made good progre😼ss. I really hope we have pac𒁃e in the main race to score points.

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