Perez is ꦕalready 81 points down on Red Bull teammate Max Veꦜrstappen in the world championship.
"The red flag lasted longer than we expected initially, that didn🌼’t help for the temperature of the tyre," Perez said. "And yeah, just a shame to lose out as we had a great Friday, the race pace was looking really good, starting from the back it’s going to be another race where we try and minimise the damage."
Perez added: "I think in this conditions it’s where I s🍸tr⛄uggle the most with the car.
"My issues with the car become more apparent in the changeable conditions, so I think it’s something as a group we need to🎐 get on top of and understand what we are able to do better, simple as that."
