Sergio Perez felt he had a chance of winning in Miami had it not been for a Formula 1 engine sensor issue that cost him an estimated 30 horse power.

“I think at one point it was really close to being over. “It was too dirty off-line and after that, I couldn’t get close. It was like 10km/h down on the straights.” Perez agreed: “It was never the same.
