Perez says he 'cannot afford another zero' during the 2023 F1 season after his first point-less race of the year in Monaco, where an 'unacceptable' mistake cost him dear.
Despite it marking Perez's first scoreless race of the season, the Mexican said his mistake was"very costly" and"unacceptable".
He added:"It was going really well. Unfortunately, I hit the traffic fairly early and that put us back to our original position. Then the rain came, we were one of the last ones to pit. He also said Perez had been within a pit window of Ocon before getting stuck behind slow-moving traffic.
