Pérez wants to confirm, Button must go back

When he was shown the way to leave the house McLaren, the Mexican Sergio Pérez distinguished himself during the qualifying session of the United States Grand Prix by setting the seventh fastest time in 1'37"452. “I'm happy but I would have liked to do better because I'm close to the cars in front of us, admitted Sergio Pérez. (In the race. Editor’s note) I'm going to compete in front of my supporters and I'm very proud of it. I hope to get a good start, as I am on the clean side of the track, and put on a great show for all the Mexican fans. »

As for his teammate, the session did not go so well. Unable to find the necessary grip, Jenson Button will start in sixteenth position due to his three-place penalty for overtaking Russian Daniil Kvyat under a red flag. ?I don?t know what happened, the rhythm wasn?t there. It's tough because we've been fast since the start of the weekend. We were suddenly slow in qualifying, this is not the first time this has happened this year, remarked the Briton. I'm going to start sixteenth, that is to say far away but also on the dirty line. »

Ninth in the general classification with 60 points, Jenson Button remains on two results outside the top 10 in India and Abu Dhabi while his teammate Sergio Pérez (35 points) finished fifth and ninth respectively in these two meetings.
