Sergio Perez started his first Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend as a driver for Red Bull Racing. It looks like the gap between Red Bull and Mercedes has been closed over the winter, and the Mexican reports his team still have some room for improvement on the soft tire.
A fight for first place
It’s not something we’ve seen many times in Formula 1 in recent years. It only becomes clear in the third and final part of qualifying on Saturday, but there are some promising signs of a real battle. Perez explains how he’s doing with his new team.
“I feel great to finally get into the race weekend and so far have been happy with how everything is going. I really feel at home and progressing. If I had to recap today, I still have to work on the short distances., “because in one lap I don’t feel the car quite well and I still have to think about what the car is doing. But in the long races, I feel more comfortable and I think the pace is there, so it’s positive “, Perez said in the press release Red bull racing.
Good start
In recent seasons, Red Bull Racing has not started the season so well and the team has had to catch up. Perez alludes to this in his post-workout reaction.
“I think we still have some work to do on the soft tire, because there is still some improvement to be made. But the car is running well, we have a good pace and tomorrow it will be pretty tight in qualifying, so we have to make sure you do well and have a good start to the season “, Perez said.
