Perez off the track at the entrance to the pits

McLarn sporting director Sam Michael said after his first training session in China that Perez’s trip off the track was due to the temperature of the front tires: “The problem was that he warmed up the tires a lot and then drove off a very slow sector. At the same time, of course, the temperature dropped sharply, as a result of which it lost almost all of its grip. "

Let’s mention that the Mexican drove off the track onto the sand when importing into the pits, much like Hamilton did in 2007 at the race. However, Sergio took responsibility for McLarn: "To be honest, we should have warned him before importing him into the pits that the temperature of his front tires had dropped too much." Sergio lost the front wings and nose of the car itself. However, it was an older version of the parts of the car that were put on in the second part of the training. “The damaged parts were spare, so that’s good. Of course, we did not stage this on purpose, but we will replace the old parts specifications with updated - new ones. "
