Sergio Pérez’s poor run in qualifying continues at British Grand Prix

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) — Sergio Pérez has the quickest car in Formula One and can’t make it count in qualifying.Pérez hasn’t qualified in the top 10 for five grands prix in a row after placing 16th in qualifying for the British Grand Prix on Saturday — though he later moved up a place when Valtteri Bottas was disqualified.His teammate Max Verstappen is unbeatable in the same Red Bull car with five pole positions in succession, and Verstappen will be aiming for a sixth consecutive win in Sunday’s race.“The changing conditions made things a lot trickier, so we ended up having a poor qualifying,” Pérez said, saying an unexpectedly long red-flag stoppage left him with cold tires. “It’s going to be difficult to come through the field (in Sunday’s race) but we will try our very best.”It’s becoming a common sight to see Pérez working his way through the pack in races, generally for solid points finishes, but the standings gap to Verstappen has grown to 81 p...
