Sergio Perez was confident in his chances at the Austrian Grand Prix, but his hopes of a podium finish were interrupted by George Russell, who pulled the Mexican off the track. The Red Bull Racing driver is obviously not happy with the Brit's action.

"To be honest, there was nothing I could have done. I gave him enough space, he was clearly in front, and it was up to him to control his car and make sure we got out of the corner without any contact. Too bad we couldn't do that," Perez told Viaplay.
The Mexican is therefore very disappointed that he could not do anything for his team on Sunday. "It's very unfortunate what happened today. I felt we did everything we could to avoid an incident," he continued.
Sky Sports then asks Perez if he can take comfort in the fact that Carlos Sainz was also unable to finish the race. "Not in the slightest," Perez replies. "I feel sorry for Carlos for what happened today, but it has nothing to do with us. I think the car was not very good this weekend, so there are still some analyses to be done."
