F1 | Red Bull, Sergio Perez disappointed by the Austin race

Sergio Perez closes on Austin Grand Prix crossing the finish line in fifth position. Like his teammate, the Mexican also finished a comeback race from ninth position, but was unable to reach the podium. Overtake the Alpine turns out to be a simple affair, as is overtaking on Oscar piastri. The struggle with, however, turns out to be more complicated Mercedes e Ferrari: Perez plays for position with Russell and the two redheads, but Leclerc let it pass Sainz – who has more – sacrificing himself as expendable prey precisely for Checo's advantage. In the end the Monegasque is disqualified along with Lewis Hamilton, second, thus gaining a position for Perez, fourth in the final classification.

“I wanted more from this race, obviously. In some moments we had a really good pace, but we lack consistency. It was a difficult race, it seems that the Ferraris have improved, but we also made a good step forward compared to Saturday. Overtaking wasn't easy either, especially at the exit of turn 11, it was quite complicated with the wind – explained Checo – there were a couple of occasions where we could have attempted the undercut, we'll review everything after the race. I think I also know what we did wrong during the weekend, so I'm optimistic for the next races. We can learn a lot from this weekend, especially in view of Mexico. There's still some untapped pace in the car and I can't wait to give everything in my home race."
