Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has strongly criticized Sergio Perez for his “stupid mistake” during qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix, which resulted in the Mexican driver starting from the back of the grid.
Perez, aiming to secure pole position and establish himself as Red Bull’s street race specialist, crashed his RB19 eight minutes into Q1 when he approached Sainte Devote corner too quickly and lost control, colliding with the barriers. The damage to the rear left of his car, including the sidepods, meant his qualifying session came to an immediate end.
