MONACO : Sergio Perez started the Monaco Grand Prix weekend hoping to repeat last year's win and it turned into a nightmare he cannot afford to repeat.
The Formula One title 'battle' is looking increasingly like a pushover, with Verstappen now 39 points clear of the Mexican after winning four of six races."I just have to apologise to my whole team. It is unacceptable to have this kind of mistake. I just have to move on, learn from it, and I cannot afford another zero in the championship."
While he gained two places in the pitstop, he hit traffic and then tangled with Aston Martin's Lance Stroll when he tried to pass as Verstappen lapped them both. There were further incidents, one with Mercedes' George Russell that again damaged his front wing, and a brush with the wall that damaged his car.
