I did feel sorry for Perez and the Hulk as well as the pink predators.
Perez suffers from COVID due to having to go home and see his mum who had been in an accident. They hit the panic button and Hulk flies in having had multiple COVID tests. They get him fitted and in the car. Then the power unit borks on the day of the race and he has to stand down/they only have one car in the race. Especially when the factory is right opposite the track, poor devils.
