Sergio Perez feels can challenge for victory in the Las Vegas Grand Prix – comparing the track to Azerbaijan.
Sergio Perez is eager to secure a victory in the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix, seeing similarities between the track and his successful performances in Azerbaijan. Despite not winning a race since 2023 in Azerbaijan, Perez faces pressure to maintain his Red Bull seat due to a decline in form this season, with only 48 points earned in the last 15 events and no podium finishes since the Chinese GP. Red Bull currently sits third in the constructors’ standings, but Perez showed promise during the recent Baku race, challenging for a podium until a collision with Carlos Sainz ended his race. Perez believes that the Las Vegas circuit, resembling Baku with its long straight and technical sections, could provide an opportunity for a strong performance and valuable points for the team. Based on his past successes in similar tracks, Perez is optimistic about his chances and aims to contribute significantly to Red Bull’s standings in the championship.
