After some wet free practice 3 in which some riders preferred not to risk too much to avoid damage that could put their participation in the classification in doubt, the fastest session of the weekend started with abundant rain on the asphalt of the Circuit Gilles -Villeneuve.
Despite the fact that the presence of water on the track gradually decreased, the conditions were still very delicate, so it was clear that the possibility of seeing an accident at the moment when everyone pushed their cars to the maximum was greater. usual.
Arriving at Q2 and with a variety of wet and intermediate tyres, Sergio Pérez lost control of his Red Bull RB18 and over-braked at turn 3, colliding head-on with the protections, causing the red flag and saying goodbye to his qualifying session.
The Mexican driver, who had intermediates, could not brake in time and blocked his tires, which prevented the car from turning, going straight against the protections. Luckily, there were TecPro barriers in the area of the incident and the damage was not very severe, although despite trying, Checo Pérez was unable to get his car out and return to the garage.
This was the accident of Checo Pérez in the classification of the 2022 Canadian GP of F1:
After this accident of the Mexican driver, both Ferrari and Red Bull Racing are left with only one driver to fight for pole position; Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen.
Tomorrow, both Charles Leclerc due to a penalty for changing the power unit and Checo Pérez due to the accident, will have to come back and try to minimize the damage, although seeing the superiority of their two cars compared to the rest of the grid, It can be ruled out that one of the two manages to reach the podium.
