How did the race pan out for Perez at Zandvoort?

The Red Bull driver was aiming to redeem himself at the Dutch Grand Prix, as he was starting from the pit lane. He knew starting from such a position would have many obstacles along the way if he wanted to score some points for his Milton-Keynes-based outfit.

After doing a brilliant move on Ricciardo, and another one on Lando Norris, Sergio found himself back in the points and was extremely pleased with himself.

The Mexican driver crossed the line in eighth place and seized ten points for the Milton-Keynes squad. Meanwhile, his teammate Max Verstappen took home a victory and bagged twenty-five points.

However, despite both their drivers finishing in the top 10 points, Red Bull’s points haul was not enough to take the lead in the constructors’ championship. With the upcoming race in just a week’s time, they hope to have a similar, if not better, weekend at Monza.
