P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has admitted it has to “look at the facts” regarding Sergio Perez’s place with the team amid another F1 weekend in Brazil.
Perez aimed for a positive result in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix to rebound from a point-less finish in his home event in Mexico. Despite securing the final point in the Sprint, Perez had an unspectacular run in the main race, finishing 11th. A spin on the opening lap caused Perez to drop to the back, hindering his chances. Teammate Verstappen’s impressive performance showed progress was possible, winning from 17th on the grid. Red Bull missed a chance to gain on rivals Ferrari and McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship due to Perez’s struggles. Although rumors of a potential driver swap persist, Horner emphasized working with Perez to improve his form. Despite speculation, Horner did not confirm discussions with Williams over rookie Colapinto, reaffirming Perez as the current driver of Red Bull Racing.
