It started to get clogged and when I was on the hard tire it took us one or two laps to stop when we had traffic behind us and we lost many seconds,” said the Mexican driver in statements to ESPN.
“We did the most we could (…) I hope (to improve in Japan), we have everything to return and be strong in Suzuka,” said “Checo” Pérez.
