THIRD SERGIO PEREZ
The first laps were really difficult with the graining.
Just basically not panicking. The easiest thing
would have been to stop when the graining
occurred, especially when Kimi and some people
behind stopped and we decided to stay longer. It
cleaned up. That was one of the keys of my race.
Obviously pitting early to go onto the one stop
and as soon as I left the pits I was under pressure
from Lewis. So I couldn’t introduce nicely my
tyres. I had to push straight away.
