Perez has excuse for missing out on win: 'If Max is already being overtaken...'"

Sergio Perez's task this season has been quite simple: to finish second behind Max Verstappen every time and, at times when the Dutchman runs into problems, to take the win himself. The latter failed in Melbourne, on a day when the reigning world champion retired his Red Bull early in the Australian Grand Prix. Why Perez failed to triumph? He said the grid penalty of three places played a major role in it.
