Perez,
who
sits
second
in
the
driver’s
standings
behind
team-mate
Max
Verstappen,
put
his
Red
Bull
into
the
wall
at
turn
three
during
Q2
on
Saturday,
forcing
out
the
red
flag
and
ending
his
hopes
of
a
front-row
finish.
Verstappen
handled
the
wet
conditions
best,
meanwhile,
finishing
almost
seven
tenths
of
a
second
quicker
than
Fernando
Alonso,
who
qualified
second
in
his
Alpine.
After
a
disappointing
qualifying
finish,
Perez
claimed
Sunday’s
race
will
be
about
damage
limitation
from
his
standpoint.
“I
did
a
mistake
from
my
side,
so
I’m
very
sorry
for
my
team,”
Perez
told
Sky
Sports
F1
post-qualifying.
“I
let
them
down
unfortunately,
but
I’m
going
to
already
be
thinking
on
tomorrow,
and
hopefully
I’m
able
to
recover
and
get
into
strong
points.
“I
wasn’t
struggling
with
the
brakes,
I
think
they
were
on
the
cold
side.
I
had
a
lock-up
into
turn
10
the
lap
before.
I
flat-spotted
them,
and
it
probably
meant
that
I
was
a
bit
out
of
shape
and
going
into
turn
three
I
just
became
a
passenger.
As
soon
as
I
touched
the
brake,
it
was
a
bit
too
much.
“It
can
be
tricky
and
difficult,
but
it
was
just
a
mistake
from
my
side.
Tomorrow
I
will
just
try
to
minimise
the
damage
and
just
attack
from
lap
one
onwards,
and
see
where
we
end
up.”
My
mistake,
feel
bad
for
the
whole
team.
Tomorrow
is
a
new
day
and
I’ll
do
my
best
to
minimize
the
damage

error,
lo
siento
por
todo
mi
equipo.
Mañana
es
un
nuevo
día
y
daré
todo
por
minimizar
el
daño

On
the
other
hand,
Alpine
team
principal
Otmar
Szafnauer
cited
driver
quality
as
the
reason
Alonso
was
able
to
qualify
in
second
amid
tricky
conditions.
Both
Alpine
cars
progressed
to
Q3,
with
Esteban
Ocon
also
finishing
in
seventh
but
he
was
out-qualified
by
nearly
two
seconds
by
Alonso,
who
was
without
fear
in
the
wet.
“We’ve
had
good
pace
here
all
weekend,”
Szafnauer
told
Sky
Sports
F1.
“We
had
decent
pace
in
Baku
too,
so
we
keep
working
on
the
car,
but
Fernando’s
experience
and
skill
shone
through
today,
and
put
it
on
the
front
row.
“He’s
always
been
really,
really
good
at
adapting
very
quickly,
so
he’s
always
on
the
pace
very
quickly.
When
you
have
changeable
conditions,
that
ability
to
adapt
quickly
shines
through.”
