In the round-up: Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes
Sergio Perez’s poor performance in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix is
likely to prove a one-off.

In brief
Perez “very strong” until Imola – Horner
Perez finished a lowly eighth having started 11th on the grid. He failed
to make the cut for Q3 by just one hundredth of a second, and lost time
in the race when he went off between the two Rivazza turns.

However Horner said Perez has turned around his form since last season
and expects last weekend’s dip in performance will prove a one-off.

“I think he has had a much better start to this year, bar this weekend,
which has been an anomaly,” said Horner. “He’s been very, very strong.

“I think that his approach, he’s been more relaxed, less focussed on
what Max is doing, just focusing on himself. And I think he’s responded
to that.”
