Sergio Perez was severely troubled by illness during his weekend in Austria. Before the first free practice session, it was questionable whether the Mexican could race for the rest of the weekend. The Red Bull Racing driver said in a post-race interview that he hopes to make a substantial recovery in a few days.

"Yeah, it's definitely not great, you know, I haven't had a good rest every night, I've had a fever, and I think when that happens, and then you are on medications automatically, you are not 100% at all, you know," the Mexican explained.
"It's a very demanding sport on the car, out of the car. And yeah, I've just been really, really weak. So I really hope that I can recover and have a few days because Silverstone is another very hard race, very demanding, so I really need time. I'm really far from 100% at the moment," the 33-year-old driver said.
