Athletistic/Formula-1. The “Red Bull” driver Sergio Perez believes lost to Charles Leclerc at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and in the general classification of the championship because of Max Verstappen.

“That’s how Formula 1 works, sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. Leclerc and Ferrari had a fantastic race, they had great tire control and were stronger than our team, especially in the first stint of the race.

In the second stint, when I was behind Verstappen – who had then made a pit stop, and I had two – I couldn’t use my car’s speed to the maximum and I couldn’t stepping on the accelerator as hard as I should. This complicated our race plan a bit. We didn’t try as hard as we should have and probably lost about two seconds,” Racingnews365 said, quoting Perez.
