Sergio Perez admits that he's a little disappointed to have missed out on P7 for tomorrow's Grand Prix, as he was pipped to that position very marginally by local hero Fernando Alonso.
Perez has failed to finish outside of the top 10 so far this year and will be hoping to continue that impressive record tomorrow, knowing that the start will be crucial as he expects overtaking on-track will be difficult due to the nature of the circuit.

"I’m very happy to be up in P8, although I am a bit disappointed to lose out to Fernando by such a small margin," he said. "This result comes as a bit of a surprise after some difficult practice sessions. But I think the team did everything right this afternoon. I think the key to our performance was the way we approached our warm-up lap," he suggested. "We got the tyres in the correct window and found the grip when it mattered.
"The race is going to be long. Overtaking is difficult here, so I hope I can make up some ground at the start. We have some very quick cars behind us who will give us a challenge, but I think we’re on course for a good race."
