Sergio Perez has no doubts regarding his ability to overturn his poor qualifying form a thing of the past under McLaren’s support, according to Autosport.
Qualifying is a potential weakness for McLaren this season, with neither Perez nor teammate Jenson Button regarded as single-lap stars following Lewis Hamilton’s exit.
Perez’s status for lacking qualifying pace was forged even before Formula One, as he regularly had to rely on race-day charges in Formula 3 and GP2. However, Perez has accepted his weakness and knows he cannot just rely on improved machinery. “We have to attack qualifying a lot more and extract the maximum,” said Perez.
