Once again it was a dramatic weekend for Sergio Perez: after finishing 19th in qualifying (on which the Mexican decided to start from the pit lane, ed.), the Red Bull Racing driver crossed the line in 17th place. No less than two laps behind winner Lewis Hamilton and also team-mate Max Verstappen, Perez was two laps behind. According to Mexican media, this result in the British Grand Prix was down to Red Bull Racing and not Perez.
