    "He is second in the standings and delivers good races, which distinguishes him from Nyck de Vries

      Perez was sitting stationary for around 8mins (you could argue 10min+ given he didn’t box after the red flag). Sargeant for around 7 minutes. I don’t think either had any tyre temp and yet Sargeat got out of q1.

      Perez was suggesting yesterday that it’s the conditions which he doesn’t like. 4 of the last 5 quali’s have been wet I think.

        Non-ideal conditions can be a reason for qualifying 4th rather than 2nd where he should be, there’s just no excuse for not making Q3 in the fastest car.

        I don’t believe that really. Yes he was poor at McLaren, but he was fast at RBR and Renault. He won multiple races with RBR, and even one with McLaren. He’s definitely better than Perez and Tsunoda.
