Sergio Perez will start in the front row for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix with his teammate Max Verstappen having a five-place grid penalty. Yet, Perez felt a little disappointed with the result since he thought he should've out-qualified Charles Leclerc, who will start from pole.
During qualifying, one of Sergio Perez's team radio was broadcast which left fans wondering what he was talking about. Fans immediately started sharing the radio message and started to wonder to guess what he meant.
After listening to the full radio, it was revealed that during the last few seconds in Q2, Huge Bird, his race engineer, asked Perez to let Verstappen pass through who was the driver at risk at that time. Perez, who was already at the last chicane, said:
"We will just f**k each other. We will talk later.
Despite qualifying first, Max Verstappen will start sixth due to a gearbox penalty.
F1 reporter thinks Sergio Perez looks more confident at the Belgian Grand Prix
Sky Sports F1 pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz feels Sergio Perez will be more confident at the Belgian Grand Prix after ending his poor run in Hungary last weekend.
“I’ve seen a new Sergio this weekend, I really have. He looks confident, he looks like all of the worries of the last few races have disappeared," Kravitz said during a live FP1 broadcast.
The Hungarian Grand Prix was a historic moment for Red Bull as they broke McLaren's record for most consecutive wins by a team in a season.
Following a double podium in Hungary, Red Bull are again looking very strong this weekend.
