Red Bull Racing's Sergio Perez will look to bounce back from his
Canadian Grand Prix disappointment in the British Grand Prix on Sunday, July 3.
The Mexican didn't enjoy a particularly good weekend at the Silverstone Circuit a fortnight ago, having to retire on lap 8 due to a gearbox failure after starting all the back in 13th on the grid.
It was Perez's second retirement in nine races of an otherwise impressive season, which has seen him finish on the podium five times, including victory in the Monaco Grand Prix.

The 32-year-old remains Max Verstappen's closest challenger in the drivers' standings, trailing his Red Bull Racing team-mate by 46 points in second place, but only three ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who closed the gap with his P5 in Montreal.
Perez admits to being mystified by the issue that ended his race early at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but he feels Red Bull are on course to achieve something special this year.

"It felt like I lost drive and it got stuck in gear. I don't know what really happened," he told Sky F1.
"[It was] a very disappointing day to go away with zero points from a weekend that hasn't been perfect but I still believe that we were on track for a great result. This year, these issues are going to be extremely painful."
