Sergio Pérez’s season is getting long. Is a reality. From starting off fighting against Max Verstappen for the championship to having to defend himself from Fernando Alonso, who has placed himself at 33 points.

And in Monza, despite the fact that in Free Practice 2 he scored the third best throne, he ended the session with an excursion in which he touched the wall. Another mistake… and there are too many for the Red Bull.

But the Mexican wanted to chest out his time and forget about that little accident. “The accident at the end was a shame, but it was very light, so I don’t think we have any significant damage,” said the second classified in the drivers’ championship.

And his speed stands out: “The important thing is that we had a good Friday, I think it was without a doubt the best Friday in a long time, we did good runs with the car and I think that this is positive for the rest of the weekend” .

He feels comfortable despite everything that is happening to him and the dozens of criticisms he receives in almost every race: “The positive is that the car is working well. I feel comfortable with that. And I think we are in a good position.” .

“I really felt that we had a very strong Friday…”, sentenced the Mexican pilot.
