Sergio Checo Pérez (Red Bull), after starting fourth, had to retire on the final lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix, the first of the Formula One World Championship, declared at the Sakhir circuit that “it was a shame, because” I had “the podium in my pocket until” that last turn.
“It was going to be a great start to the season, but unfortunately we didn't achieve the result we expected. It is very disappointing not to be able to execute the result we wanted,” explained 'Checo', born 32 years ago in Guadalajara, who is facing his twelfth season in F1, the second as teammate of the last world champion, Dutchman Max Verstappen, who also retired this Sunday, in the penultimate lap, in a very final race disappointing for Red Bull.
“We had the podium in our pocket until the last lap. A couple of laps before the end I could feel that I was losing power, we knew there was a problem and we knew what had happened with Max”, explained the Mexican from the Austrian team, twice winner in the premier category, in which he scored fifteen podiums.
“I had a problem similar to the one he had with his car; at the moment we thought it was a problem with the fuel system and basically the engine just stopped,” commented the driver from Tapatio this Sunday in Bahrain.
“It is difficult to digest, but we will look for the positive aspects and we will come back stronger next week in Jeddah,” said the Mexican.
“I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of the problem, we're a great team and I really believe in them. Today was a very disappointing and unfortunate start, but one year is a long time in Formula One and we only have one race,” said 'Checo' Pérez at the Sakhir circuit after dropping out in the first Grand Prix of the season.
