He said:
“Especially the first stint was quite poor in terms of degradation but it is a strong result for the team. I think we managed to get a lot of points today which is important looking forward.” When asked about navigating through the opening lap carnage at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Perez said:
“It was a bit of chaos on lap one and I had a really poor start and lost key positions but managed to get them all back into Turn 5. It was very hectic that, lap one and a lot of contact.”

Seeing the way we apply the throttle and the way we brake is the biggest difference between us. [But beyond that] I find it very difficult to compare what’s the difference between drivers in terms of driving styles, because every time it’s different.”
Perez will be hoping to eat into Verstappen's advantage next week when they travel to Zandvoort for the Dutchman's home race. As things stand, Checo is P2 in the World Drivers' Championship standings with 191 points.
