Perez 'close to retiring' before clinching Baku win
Sergio Perez revealed that he was on the verge of having to retire from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but held on just long enough to cross the line and claim his first victory for Red Bull. "We were close to retiring the car, but luckily we managed to finish the race," he told the media in parc ferme immediately after a dramatic finish to the street race in Baku. "It was quite difficult all the way until the end." Immediately after claiming the chequered flag, Perez was told to stop straight away at pit exit in turn 1 rather than continue with the usual cool-down lap on the way back to pit lane.
