Sergio Perez has set a new best lap time at the Monaco Grand Prix, proving that he is on track for a strong performance in the race.
The Mexican driver was one of the fastest drivers during qualifying, setting a time of 1 minute and 27.855 seconds. This was more than three tenths faster than his previous best lap time from last year's race.
Perez's victory will be a big boost to his championship hopes, as he currently sits fifth in the standings with just six races remaining. He has been consistently fast this season, but his recent struggles with reliability have made it difficult for him to challenge for wins.
However, his strong performance at the Monaco Grand Prix could give him the confidence needed to make a serious challenge for the win. He will now focus on improving his reliability, but if he can maintain his pace and consistency, he could be in with a chance of securing a podium finish or even winning the race.
Overall, Sergio Perez's performance at the Monaco Grand Prix has given him some much-needed momentum heading into the final stages of the season. With a strong showing in the race, he could well secure his spot in the top ten, which would be a huge achievement for the team and himself.
