Perez's abysmal qualifying record, marked by three consecutive Q3 misses, directly contradicts any realistic win probability. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, a street circuit hybrid, demands absolute pole position or front-row starts for contention. Verstappen's unerring dominance ensures any RB20 victory defaults to him. This isn't a race of pace recovery, but of front-end execution. 5% NO — invalid if Perez qualifies top-3.
