The 2022 Formula 1 season started and Checo Pérez had a regular qualifying day, as he could not beat the main rivals for the Bahrain Grand Prix and will start fourth in Sunday's race, behind only Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz.

This result comes after a very good performance in Free Practice 3 that took place three hours earlier, in which it concluded with the third fastest time of the session and only behind Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, so he excited his fans with a good qualifying session.
Problems with the gearbox
Saturday did not start in a good way for Red Bull and Checo Pérez, as they had to replace the gearbox of their car after suffering problems in practice on Friday, so they spent their first chance of the four offered by the Formula 1 without penalty.
In addition, after the last practice session this Saturday, Sergio Pérez and his career engineer Hugh Bird, announced through radio communication that they had problems with the brake pedal, so they were slow to solve the problems that reported since Friday on the entire braking system.
