Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1.

Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he's not on form lately?

It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times.

Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?

He was unlucky in some ways - the red flag took longer than the team expected so he had cooler tyres from sitting in the pit lane for so long. Also, on the final lap, I'm not sure if he was on a fast lap or not but there was a double yellow flag because of a stopped car on the final lap so he wouldn't have been able to improve if he had been.

On the other hand he just simply wasn't fast enough even with the best car on the grid to the point he was a second slower than the fastest car in Q1 (Norris) and couldn't even beat the Williams. This also hasn't been the only time he's had similar qualifying results this season, so you can only blame being unlucky so many times.

I feel like when things aren't perfect with the setup of his car, or the track conditions aren't perfect, or there is some interruption in qualifying he just loses a lot of confidence and loses the ability to perform, while other drivers can often overcome such obstacles. For me, he's definitely out of form still. Hopefully he can turn it around sooner rather than later.
