Perez faced difficulties during practice on Friday in Monaco, as did his teammate Max Verstappen, who also struggled to find pace. This continued throughout the weekend, with Verstappen finishing in 4th place and Perez in 8th place during FP2, after starting in 11th and 12th positions, respectively, in FP1.
On Saturday morning, there was some improvement, with Verstappen reaching 6th place and Perez surprising everyone with 18th place, over half a second slower than his teammate, in a lap that took 71 seconds. This deceptive performance left both drivers disappointed.
Unfortunately, Perez’s situation worsened when he started the Monaco Grand Prix in 18th position, with Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg behind him on the starting grid. The Haas cars were disqualified in qualifying due to a DRS infringement. As the trio raced up the hill towards the Casino, Magnussen attempted to overtake Perez on the inside, causing a collision between their cars.
The impact of the collision was initially terrifying, but fortunately, the sturdy construction and advanced safety features of today’s Formula 1 cars prevented serious injuries. It is truly a miracle that all three drivers emerged unscathed from the incident.
The RB20 of Perez was completely destroyed, as shown in the main image above this article, leading the Red Bull team boss to comment on his driver’s performance in Monte-Carlo. The team boss expressed his disappointment with the first lap crash and believed Magnussen should have given more space. Perez not only damaged his own car, but also took out our car.
Fortunately, Perez managed to walk away from the crash unharmed, which is the most important thing. This weekend has been incredibly tough for him. It is crucial for us that both cars score points, as we cannot underestimate the threat posed by Ferrari and McLaren in both championships.
The team boss acknowledged that Perez had a strong start to the season, qualifying on the front row and finishing in second and third places, earning valuable points. The goal now is to regain that confidence and avoid any drop in performance. The team boss also congratulated Charles Leclerc of Ferrari for winning his home race.
In the team report, the Red Bull team boss reflected on the challenges faced in Monaco. Performance in qualifying plays a significant role in this race, and their car did not have the best performance. They need to analyze the data from this weekend and address the issues encountered with the bumps and kerbs. They have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks before the race in Canada.
Although Red Bull and Verstappen are still leading the Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship of 2024, Ferrari and Leclerc are closing in. With Perez’s failure on the day, the competition is heating up. (Quotes from Agnes Carlier in Monaco)
We are grateful for the dedication and commitment of the FIA and the automotive community in their continuous efforts to improve safety in our sport. The fact that drivers, photographers, and everyone present at the track were able to walk away unscathed from this accident over the weekend is a testament to their hard work and vigilance.
