Sergio Perez finished second in Baku. The Mexican rider took the lead after the start, but at the request of the team he let Max Verstappen go ahead. After the finish, the Red Bull Racing driver called the team’s instructions correct, because in that part of the race the partner drove faster.
Sergio Perez: “Unfortunately we had a misunderstanding with the team during the first virtual safety car, so it was too late to go into the pits. Shame, because at the time I was in the lead and after the race resumed, the wear on the Medium tires on my car was too high.
We have to understand what exactly happened because today Max was much faster than me. There is still a lot to analyze, but the team has achieved an excellent result.
I think the team made the right decision when they asked Max and me not to fight each other because Max was much faster at that time. The team went for a high result, anything could happen in Baku, but we were able to win the winning double – the team achieved an excellent result.”
