And, on Sunday’s race, he found himself having a pitlane start as he made some changes to his power unit. He knew he would have to bring his A-game as soon as the lights went out to get a result for the Milton-Keynes outfit.
As the race came to a close at Zandvoort, Perez earned himself an eighth-place finish and four points. However, that wasn’t good enough to steal the lead from their arch-rivals, Mercedes, in the constructors’ championship.
