More info<\/p>\n Perez took issue with the modifications made to the track when speaking about his underwhelming display at Doha, feeling that the last-minute curb changes were one of the roots of his issues. He continued: \u201cFor me, it was difficult to judge where exactly the limits of the track were.<\/p>\n \u201cTo me, it all seems like a joke to come out and modify everything at the last minute like this,” he said, referring to the last-minute track alterations due to curb issues. It has been a frustrating race. I am very disappointed for having failed my team. It was a poor weekend.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/5005200.jpg?r=1696969964249\")
