Piastri also weak
Bitter qualifying debacle for Perez at his home race
The next bitter setback for Sergio Perez! At his home race in Mexico, the Red Bull driver failed in the first qualifying section.
Sergio Perez, who is fighting for his cockpit in Formula 1, just can't get going. In qualifying in Mexico, he was knocked out in Q1 in 18th place.
The Mexican signed a new contract with Red Bull at the beginning of June, which is due to run until the end of 2026. However, it is questionable whether he will stay beyond this year; the 34-year-old has been in a performance slump for months and is only eighth in the championship standings ahead of his home Formula 1 race. His team-mate Max Verstappen leads the championship standings and is aiming for his fourth championship title in a row.
Piastri only in 17th place
Oscar Piastri also had a qualifying session to forget on Saturday: Like Perez, the McLaren driver missed Q2 and will only start Sunday's race in 17th place.
