🗣 'High fevers, no sleep, during the weekend.' Red Bull F1 driver Sergio Perez has revealed the full impact of the illness that left him 'really weak' for the AustrianGP ⬇️
Perez reckoned his comeback was particularly satisfying given his illness, the effects of which included a lack of strength, sleep and"high fevers"."I have been really, really weak. I was sick on Thursday. So, it hasn't been an easy weekend.
Perez said of the result that ends a run of three GPs without a podium:"It's been a bit of a rough patch for me. So, now, hopefully we are back and we can keep those positions here now." This execution, he reckoned, left him confident that he could repass both Ferraris to secure his 42nd win after Leclerc used a virtual safety car to pit early and his superior race pace enabled him to take the lead once Verstappen finally made his first stop.
Explaining the strategy, Verstappen said:"We opted not to box during the virtual safety car, and just follow our normal strategy.
