Sergio Perez to Start from Pit Lane at British Grand Prix
Race Weekend Scheduled for July 5-7
Perez Eliminated in Q1 After Crashing in Damp Conditions
Sergio Perez will start the British Grand Prix from the pit lane after being eliminated in Q1. The Mexican driver crashed his Red Bull in the gravel during a damp qualifying session, prompting the team to take the opportunity to make changes to his car.
Perez's crash occurred at the end of Q1, as he was attempting to improve his lap time. He lost control of his car and slid off the track, ending up in the gravel trap. The incident brought out the red flags and ended the session early.
Perez's crash was a major setback for Red Bull, which has been struggling to keep pace with Ferrari this season. The team had hoped to use the British Grand Prix to close the gap, but Perez's crash has dashed those hopes.
Perez will now have to start from the back of the grid, which will make it difficult for him to score points. However, the Mexican driver is known for his fighting spirit, and he will be determined to make up as much ground as possible in the race.
The British Grand Prix will be the 10th round of the 2023 Formula 1 season. The race will be held at Silverstone Circuit on July 7.
