Sergio Pérez continued his excellent run in the 2022 season with the lead in TL1 and second place in TL2 on Friday (10) give gas to the excellent momentum of Max Verstappen's Red Bull teammate.
Although the Mexican is alert with a possible braking problem faced by the RB18 in Azerbaijan. "We couldn't solve this issue, we explored during practice and didn't reach a common denominator, so our TL2 was not as good as we would have liked," said Checo.
Perez knows he has the car in hand and the track marries well with his Red Bull, so he keeps his feet on the ground even with an excellent performance in free practice. "It was a good start to the day, I feel confident. It's about keeping a clear head that we will do well here."
The Czech's warning signal remains on, even with the charmed good run at the moment and third place in the Drivers' World Championship. "We took some wrong directions, so we need to keep an eye on some details that are still left to be solved. We have work to do tonight."
For qualifying this Saturday, Perez feels he has something extra to give if he wants to take pole. "We have data with both tires and it's good information to analyze so we can put everything on the track during qualifying."
