168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez pointed the finger of blame at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon after sprint qualifying in Austr💖ia - but Martin Brundle ౠquestioned his methods on Friday.

Red Bull’s Perez was forced to complete his best qualifying lap behind the slow-moving A🐷lpine of Ocon, with time running out on the clock for the session.

Perez qualif🦩ied in seventh, a place ahead of Ocon, while teammate Max Verstappen claimed pole position.

Perez t🌟old Sky Sports afterwards: “I think we were in the mix today.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know what Esteban was doing. He apparently had t𒈔o drive reall🥀y slowly.

“I did my final lap within half a second 📖from him. Basically, there was no chance…

“It’s a shame because we h♊ad promising pace. Unfortunately we werꦯen’t able to maximise it today.

“We should have ✅been in the mix today but, for circumstances out of our control, we didn’t end up where we needed to be🐼.”

But Brundle reacted: “If the team had put him out on the track earlier, it would have⛄ saved that problemܫ.

“They were✱ backing it up, and obviously got it wron💙g.

“I don’t understand that. They have data, the𓄧 pitwall telling you. It was flagged up with us. George Russell’s engineer was telling him that some of them won’t make it over the line.

“It’ﷺs all a bit silly, isn’t it? That they don’t get the lap in? That they leave it so late?

“Even if 🌠they cross the line they compromise their ability to do a good lap, because they’ve pushed the car so hard.

“I find it incredulous,🎃 actually, that they would wait so long.”

Bernie Collins added: “Ocon and Pierre Gasly were out there on used tyres. Perez is driving a Red Bull, you know you’r♛e much faster.

“Someone should be hammering him on the radio❀ to say ‘go past this car!’

“He’s not 1.3s behind Verstappen but that’s wh🍎at the timesheet ꦆshows, because he did the whole lap behind an Alpine on a used set of tyres.”

Red Bull ahead of McLaren

Red Bull, on the first day of their home round at the Red Bull Ring, lꦚed their nearest competitors McLaren.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri qualified for the sprint race in second and t🍬hirdꦓ respectively, behind Verstappen.

"Wheꩲn everyone is pushing flat-out, they are again behind me," Verstappen said. "So they are quick as well.

"We seem⛄ed quick in the high-speed, which is nice ar💖ound here.

"The sprint race will give us an ea❀rly indication of the pace in the [gran🌌d prix] for every car."

T꧃he F1 champion added: "It was a posi📖tive day to be honest.

"I am happy. We started th♔e da🀅y well, the car was in a good window.

"A little niggle with the sensor but we fixed 🦩that quickly.

"Heading into qualifying, the car was stro🐷ng. I♏ could push.

"There will always be areas where we could do better and🉐 we’ll look at that tonighܫt.

"But definitely a good start to the weekend."
