Sergio Perez knew he was in for a long afternoon in Montreal, after a poor qualifying yielded just 12th on the grid. The Mexican opted to start on the hard compound tyre in a bid to overcut the midfield in the first stint, and coming home sixth he could have been satisfied with his recovery.
I’m also very concerned about Perez’s lack of pace. I don’t really think Red Bull have many better options available, and Perez is going through a bad patch. Maybe they could try to get Norris?
