Red Bull's Sergio Perez aims to revamp qualifying performance for Hungarian Grand Prix

Red Bull driver Sergio Perez is determined to enhance his qualifying performance after admitting he has "fallen short" on Saturdays.

During the last F1 race at Silverstone two weeks ago, the Mexican driver faced his fifth straight exit during Q1, forcing him to start from the back of the grid and fight his way through the field.

While Red Bull remain over 200 points ahead in the Constructors' standings, Perez's recent finishing positions have put his second place in the Drivers' Championship at risk, with competition from Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.

Looking ahead to the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring on Sunday, 23 July, Perez highlighted the race's significance in reviving his title bid: "Hungary is an important race for me because it's about getting my whole weekend in a complete place," Perez said.

"I know I have fallen short in qualifying at times this season, so my focus has to be on having a successful Saturday."

To improve his form, Perez revealed that he has been collaborating with the team at the factory, striving to identify areas where he can make progress: "I know I have the race pace on a Sunday and an incredible car that should be on the podium every weekend. I have been in Milton Keynes working hard with my team on making improvements."

As the Hungarian Grand Prix approaches, all eyes are on Perez as he seeks to secure a stronger qualifying performance and maintain his position in the Drivers' Championship battle.
