🗣️ 'It was a mess, a total mess. We had an electrical issue from the beginning - I was nearly knocked out in Q1, nearly in Q2.' SChecoPerez laments electrical woes that restricted him to fourth in F1 MexicoGP qualifying:
The local driver was left without information on his dashboard, including lap times, and in the end he was relieved to recover toThe electrical issue also created a DRS problem that left him seventh in Q1, although that problem was rectified for the later sessions.
"Sometimes I could not figure out where I was with my brake balance either. So it was a total mess, but in the end I think P4 is not the worst bit, but I think certainly we could have been quite a lot higher than we are." "Basically I had no reference with lap times and so on. [DRS] came back, the only thing that didn't come back was my electrical. They are confident that they can sort that out [for the race]."Perez admitted that it was particularly painful to endure such a difficult session at his home event.
