Regarding his return to the podium after a string of races without a top-three finish, Perez expressed his satisfaction, especially at Red Bull’s home race. However, he remained frustrated with his qualifying result due to deleted laps for track limits violations in Q2.
Despite battling illness throughout the weekend, Perez was pleased with his performance and credited the team’s strategy for his impressive climb from 15th on the grid. He highlighted the need to review the decision to stay out during the early Virtual Safety Car period and discussed the strategy and tire choices made during the race.
