Sergio Perez has admitted that he has struggled at Monaco so far this race weekend. After Thursdays two practise sessions, Racing Point would have hoped to have been higher up the timesheet and will use today to try and work out how to go faster around the circuit. 

“We completed lots of laps, but I haven’t found the Monaco rhythm just yet and I think that shows in our performance today,” said Perez.

“We need to find a good step if we want to be in the fight for Q3 so there’s a big night ahead of us and we need to make good use of the extra day tomorrow (today). The car doesn’t feel too bad – the balance is okay, but we are still on the back foot.

“With some fine-tuning, we can definitely make things better. Understanding the data and making good decisions is a real strength of this team so I’m confident we can be in a better position by Saturday afternoon.”

Racing Point will hope to finish with both cars in the points as they look to climb their way higher up the midfield table.
