The drivers eliminated in Q1 are: Norris, Gasly, Vettel, Stroll, Tsunoda.
However, once the race reached Q2, the conditions on the track started to become frequent.
Firstly, Leclerc's car had a mechanical failure after completing Q1 and returning to the team's garage, resulting in him not being able to come out of the pits to run a valid flying lap for the entire Q2.
Having just won the street race in Azerbaijan in the previous race, Perez seemed somewhat unaccustomed to the traditional circuit layout, locking the right front wheel directly at T3 during the flying lap.
The critical point was that this corner was a heavy braking point, causing Perez to miss the braking zone after locking the tire.
Although Perez immediately released the brake in an attempt to regain grip for the car to steer into the corner, it was already too late.
The experienced Perez realized that crashing in this situation was inevitable.
