Racing Point driver Sergio Perez finished fourth at the Eifel Grand Prix and he now is placed fifth on the World Drivers' Championship standings.
The Mexican star feels that a mid-race Safety Car scuppered his chances of securing the ninth rostrum of his career.
“I’m gutted because I felt the podium was in our hands,” said Perez.
“I think without the Safety Car the podium was going to be ours. We were catching very fast Daniel.
"He was going to struggle at some point with his tyres but then the Safety Car came.”
Mercedes are still placed at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed Racing Point.
