Mexico City /
The prize of the Pilot of the Day obtained by Sergio Pérez in the Dutch Grand Prix thanks to Formula One fans was refuted by Ross Brawn, Sporting director of this category, under the argument that he did not have a consistent performance throughout the weekend, with an emphasis on the elimination he suffered in Q1.
Czech left the pit lane because Red Bull changed his engine and finished in eighth place to add four more points to end a three-date streak of going to zero, Although this he failed to convince the powerful manager, Who made it clear why in his usual column he places on the F1 portal.
“For once I have to disagree with the fans as for the pilot of the day, as for me was Fernando (Alonso), instead of Sergio. Sergio was pitted and in the back of the field because he had a huge flat point, he made a big mistake again, ”Brawn said.
This comment is reminiscent of blockade suffered by Czech when looking to surpass a Nikita Mazepin, Action that worn out his right front tire and that it forced him to get into breasts at the start of the race, Although it was not the only mistake he highlighted.
“A grand prize consists of make the fewest mistakes or none throughout the weekend. You could say the team was to blame in Q1, though not progressing in this session with an act like this is not good enough. He’s not putting it all together right now. Fernando is, “said the manager, who also surrendered to Pierre Gasly, fourth in the race in his Alpha Tauri.
