Letting the tyre temp drop didn't help though
Perez was sitting stationary for around 8mins (you could argue 10min+ given he didn't box after the red flag). Sargeant for around 7 minutes. I don't think either had any tyre temp and yet Sargeat got out of q1.
Perez was suggesting yesterday that it's the conditions which he doesn't like. 4 of the last 5 quali's have been wet I think.
Non-ideal conditions can be a reason for qualifying 4th rather than 2nd where he should be, there's just no excuse for not making Q3 in the fastest car.
Throws out any arguments for tyre warmers really.
Fully agree for dry tires
that may be but you gotta deal with it perez, just like everyone else
