Letting the tyre temp drop didn't help though
Perez was sitting stationary for around 8mins (you could argue 10min+ given he didn't box after the red flag). Sargeant for around 7 minutes. I don't think either had any tyre temp and yet Sargeat got out of q1.
Perez was suggesting yesterday that it's the conditions which he doesn't like. 4 of the last 5 quali's have been wet I think.
Non-ideal conditions can be a reason for qualifying 4th rather than 2nd where he should be, there's just no excuse for not making Q3 in the fastest car.
