Sergio Perez openly admitted that his qualifying crash in Monaco made him lose confidence and that could explain his recent difficulties on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
The Mexican recently put an end to a horrible streak of 5 races without a Q3 finish, but even then he didn’t impress in Hungary with a sloppy P9 on the grid.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old went into Monaco only 14 points adrift from his teammate, but difficult times and staggering form from Max Verstappen has led to his margin increasing to monumental 110 points.<\/p>\n
Asked about his issues in the press conference, Perez replied:<\/p>\n
\u201cI think certainly after Monaco, I lost some confidence because the way my crash happened, I did lose a bit of confidence with the car, and that put me back.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my psychology and that’s something I work on. Other than that, it’s just how the sport is. You have good moments, bad moments, but always when you are at Red Bull, the pressure is a lot higher in that regard.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
