P1racenews AI automatic summary:
A “rumour” spreading through the F1 paddock is that Sergio Perez has pressure to claim P2 in the drivers’ championship to retain his Red Bull seat.
According to Sky’s Ted Kravitz, there are rumors circulating that if Sergio Perez fails to secure second place in the drivers’ championship, which Red Bull highly values, they will consider whether to keep him on the team or have a serious conversation about his performance for next year. This is not an ultimatum, but Perez understands the importance of achieving this position. Currently, Perez is in second place in the standings with a 39-point advantage over Lewis Hamilton. However, his recent form has been questioned, especially with Daniel Ricciardo’s comeback to Red Bull’s sister team, AlphaTauri. With the upcoming race in Mexico, where Perez has strong support from the crowd, he has a great opportunity to prove himself.
