MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Red Bull driver Sergio Perez bemoaned a terrible day at the Australian Grand Prix after a slide into gravel in qualifying left him back of the grid for Sunday's race and dented his championship hopes.
The Mexican, one point shy of team mate Max Verstappen in the Formula One title race, locked up at turn three at Albert Park and beached himself in the gravel on his first out lap in the opening session of qualifying.
