Perez insists Sakhir victory was 'on merit', not luck
Racing Point's Sergio Perez says that his first Formula 1 race victory in 190 race starts was won on merit and not down to having it handed to him on a plate by an astonishing blunder by Mercedes. George Russell and Valtteri Bottas had looked on course to claim a one-two result in the Sakhir Grand Prix until a tyre mix-up in the last round of pit stops cost them control of the race. Perez was the driver on hand to pick up the lead as a result of the blunder and he was able to turn that into a ten second victory over Renault's Esteban Ocon by the chequered flag.
