But Mexican fourth place nor is it so bad if we put it in context of the actionthat he was close deviation. Perez drove close to third in the race Carlos Sainz, and during the safety car towards the end of the race, he hit the car new tires and would normally have had a big advantage over the three racers who drove in front of him.
All Mexican already in the first half of the race he was left without around 30 horsepower, after the sensor malfunction is on powertrain caused the emergency shutdown of some systems. The engineers in the garages otherwise succeeded program bypass affected systems, but it is Perez left without the power to encroach on higher places. “It was very close to resignation,”Explained the team leader, Christian horner. "We had to bypass some sensors to get around the problem. We will definitely talk to Honda about this as we need to know exactly what happened and then make sure the problem doesn’t happen again."
Horner he explained that it was sensor failure on one of cylinders power units, and the loss of power was expressed mainly in loses final velocities on the planes. “The boys managed to bypass the sensor, but Sergio lost about 20 kilowatts of power, making it about half a second slower than the race car would have been able to without any problems, despite the new tires. That would be enough for at least second place."
Although it is about new problem in a series of team failures Red Bull, p Horner claims that the team is not yet concerned about the reliability of the car. “I don’t think the race car is fragile. These are just small details that we would normally solve in winter tests, but now we are facing them during the season. We work closely with Honda and get tremendous support from them, so I believe we will solve all the problems."
