P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Emerson Fittipaldi is not impressed with Max Verstappen’s teammates in 2025. Indeed, according to the Brazilian, Sergio Perez did better than Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.
Emerson Fittipaldi believes Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda are performing “worse” than Sergio Perez at Red Bull. Perez left Red Bull after weakening performances in 2024 and Lawson, who replaced him, struggled and got demoted after just two races. Tsunoda, who took Lawson’s place, has only scored six points after four races for Red Bull Racing. Fittipaldi thinks Perez was better understood by Red Bull and performed well alongside Verstappen, winning in Monaco and Baku. Perez is rumored to return to F1 in 2026 with Cadillac or Alpine, and Fittipaldi sees him as a strong candidate for the new team.
