168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez is certain Ferrari would have still won the F1 Australian Grand Prix even if 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen didn’t retire.

Reigning world champion Verstappen lost the lead to Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz on the second lap but was forced into his first DNF in two years when his Red Bull car sꩵuffered a brake failure. 

Sainz then controlled the race as he headed teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc to complete a Ferrari 1-2 and end Red Bull’s perfect ꦐstart to the seas🌼on.

𒁏And Perez believes Ferrari had a pace advantage over Red Bull in Melbour🦂ne.

“As a team we j𓆉ust didn’t have the pace today,” the Mexican told Sky. “We didn’t have the pace throughout♎ the weekend.

“We were struggling already from Friday and we never got on top of the management of tyres. I think we just have to understand a༺nd make sure we are able to improve.

“We already saw🍌 last year 🥃in a track like this, for example Vegas a front-limited track, Ferrari was a lot stronger than us. So we just couldn’t look after the front tyres.”

When a🍸sked if he thinks Ferrari would have won even if Verstappen hadn’t retired, Perez said: “Absolutely, yes.”

♈Perez also conceded he lacked the pace to put himself in contention for victory.

“We didn’t have the🔥 pace, unfortunately,” he said. “I think we struggled early on.

“We could see that Ferrari and McLaren were a step ahead of us. I think we just couldn♏’t get the balance in the window. There’s some work to do for the coming races. It was a ver🌠y unique Tarmac and just throughout the weekend we were not able to manage the best possible grip level.”

Red Bu🌱ll team principal Christian Horner r🧸evealed after the race that Perez had picked up damage to his RB20.
