Sergio Pérez admits to feeling dizzy during qualifying

By securing a 100% pink second line with both RP20 of Lance stroll and Sergio Pérez, Racing Point confirms its new status this year in F1.

With an ambitious vision about to car close to the Mercedes W10 of 2019, which is worth the training being singled out by Renault, particularly on the issue of brake ducts, Otmar Szafnauer's team is performing well at the start of 2020.

4th this Saturday in qualifying in Hungary, Sergio Pérez will also be able to count on a different choice of tires from his pursuers led by the Ferrari, with the midrange compounds fitted to the RP20 at the start.

“I think it’s an excellent result for the team,” said the Mexican. We felt good throughout the session. I am happy with the team's results and I hope that tomorrow we can put everything together in the race and score a lot of points.

We start with the medium tires, this can benefit us tomorrow. We think the softer tire may struggle in the first stint. » A strategy identical to that of the Mercedes W11s qualified on the front row, but which could be destroyed if by chance the weather were to interfere with the debates.

The only slight worry for Pérez this Saturday was a feeling of dizziness that bothered him during the session. “ I didn't feel 100% physically, comments the former pilot McLaren. For some reason, I started to feel dizzy during the session.

It happened suddenly. My neck hurts a little but I suddenly started to feel dizzy in certain parts of the circuit. Even so, with all that, being fourth is a good result for tomorrow. »
