Perez suffers brake problems in qualifying

formula 1
Sergio Perez explained that the crash in qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix, which he will start from the last place, is the result of unresolved problems with the brakes that appeared already in the third free practice. The Mexican lost 3 minutes of the final practice due to technical problems in FP20, which he finished more than half a second behind teammate Max Verstappen's time after two fast laps in which he had problems with locked wheels on braking. After qualifying, he explained that they were confident they had fixed the problems. "I was just a passenger in the race car when I started braking," he said. "There was nothing I could do but brake. Something is causing the braking ratio to shift to the front wheels. I just hope we can fix the problem before the race so I can minimize the damage." T
