In the round-up: Sergio Perez says he finds Red Bull’s latest car easier to get on with than the one he drove in his first season with the team last year.
In brief
Perez taking less time to get comfortable in 2022 Red Bull
Perez has already taken one win and his first career pole position this year, and lies second in the world championship. Having found last year’s RB16B a challenge to drive, Perez says he finds the team’s current car more user-friendly.
“I’m definitely more comfortable with the car than I was last year,” he said. “For example, it took me a bit longer to adapt to last year’s car. This year I can feel that already from FP1 I can start working on the car instead of working how to exploit the maximum out of the car. So that’s a huge difference over the weekend.
“When I go into qualifying I’m much more prepared and similarly when I go into the race I think we’ve got a good platform. I’m confident with the car and I know what I have to do with the team to take the most out of it.”
Andretti would “super good” addition to F1 – Alonso
Fernando Alonso has spoken up in support of Michael Andretti’s bid to join the Formula 1 grid. The Alpine driver, who raced for Andretti at the Indianapolis 500 five years ago, believes they would make a strong 11th team.
“They are very good organisation, very professional, they have a lot of good guys there,” said Alonso. “Formula 1 is a different level for sure but they have the passion for motorsport and it will be super good, I think, for the sport to have Andretti name on the grid.”
