Sergio Perez apologises for “unacceptable” Monaco GP: “I can’t afford another zero”

Perez endured a miserable race in Monaco as he was lapped twice by Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
The Mex🔯ican’s weekend was curtailed by a shunt in Q1, leaving him forced to start from the back of the grid.
An early pit stop looked like it was ꦚ🔯going to be a masterstroke with Perez setting a series of fastest laps.
However, ꦇwith overtaking so difficult in Mon꧑aco, Perez was unable to make any further progress.
“We paid the price for my mistake and that's been very costly," Perez said. "I just have to apologise to my whole team because it is unacceptable to hav𓃲e this kind of mistake.
“I have to move on, learn from it, and I cannot afford another zero in the championship. It was going reall𒁏y well. Unfortunately, I hit the traffic fairly early and that put us back to our original position. Then the rain came, we were one of the last ones to pit.
“Then I cl🍸ipped the wall and it was just all a mess. I broke my front wing with Magnussen who just broke [deep] out of the chicane and it just went bad. When you are in those positions, you always have to risk a lot."

Teamꦛ boss Christian Horner described it 🉐as "one of those weekends".
“We took a really aggressive strategy. Was stopped on lap one and🐈 you could see his pace in free air and how much the others were saving. He actꦑually got back within a pit window of Esteban Ocon, and then [Logan] Sargeant and the slow cars were starting to struggle and, of course, you can't overtake.
“Then he got involved in a kerfuffle with [George] Russell and damaged the front wing. It was just one of those w෴eekends where nothing went his way. He had a massive save in the swimming pool, so he probably needed a new pair of underwear after that.
“It's just been one of those weekends for him where [he should] turn the page and I would think, for ꩲhim, the sooner he can get to Bꦺarcelona, the better."
