168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez has blamed his shock Q1 exit during qualifying for the F1 Monaco Grand Prix on stickers and traffic.

The Red Bull driver suffered a shocking elimination in the first part of qualifying in Monaco with 🧸a time good enough for only 18th on the grid.

As well as encountering traffic, Perez felt his lap had been ruined by advertising s⛎tickers that had fallen onto the track due to the drivers repeatedly brushi💧ng the walls.

"It was a disaster because firstly on my lap I encountered a lot of traffic into Turn 6, into 7 and there were some stickers laying down on the apex of 8 so I had to avoid alꩲl of that,” the Mexican said.

"I ended up losing a couple of tenths t♉hat would have been enough to get through. I was half a second off P1 so it was just a complete disaster, unfortunately.”

Perez added: “Basicꦕally, the weekend is totally over꧋ because here there is no chance to overtake, unfortunately.

"This morning we we൲re finding the light. You know, I was P5. We made some more changes, but unfortunately, there were not enough to come throu🧸gh.

"And it hurts a lot, you know, because I think just by putting normal lap in, it would hav🧸e been enough, but with thꦜe traffic that we encountered, it was really difficult."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso was also dumped out in Q1 in 16th place, with the Aston Martin driver admitting he was🃏 simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time” during his Q1 laps.

“A lot of traffic – I think that was a killer for our qualifying,” the two-time world champion explained. “I think I lost three-tenths out of [Turn] 11, with a car just in fronꦍt, then another two-tenths in t🧸he last corner… There were three cars parked there, starting their lap.

“No one’s to blame, I think they cannot vanish in the very last moment. This is Monaco, the cars are very big, they cannot disappear. We found ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time today, and this 𒆙is very painful here in Monaco.”
