'Qualifying is always his Achilles' heel.'
Red Bull boss Christian Horner said Sergio Perez is a driver who “responds to an arm around the shoulder” after his “Achilles’ heel” of qualifying returned to bite him in Qatar.
Perez would see his final time deleted for track limits at Turn 5, confirming the early end to his qualifying outing.Speaking to Sky F1 after qualifying, Horner addressed the growing deficit between their drivers, especially over one lap, which at one point was called “bizarre” by Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.Asked if it is a case of Red Bull thinking ‘thank God we’ve got Max’, Horner replied: “Absolutely.
“I think Checo, we know what he’s capable of and we know that he’s a great racer and qualifying is always his Achilles’ heel. Put to him that these qualifying woes are hitting Perez too often though, Horner replied: “Look, Checo, it’s a tough moment for him and he’s an experienced guy, he has all the pressure obviously on his shoulders that mounts from being in one of the hottest seats in Formula 1.
