Sergio Perez knew he was in for a long afternoon in Montreal, after a poor qualifying yielded just 12th on the grid. The Mexican opted to start on the hard compound tyre in a bid to overcut the midfield in the first stint, and coming home sixth he could have been satisfied with his recovery.
He was so good earlier in the year. If I had my tinfoil hat on I’d think Red Bull set it up so their star Verstappen wins again.
