Sergio Perez has struggled for form across the last handful of races as Red Bull’s rivals close in on the Milton Keynes-based squad.
1996 Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill believes Red Bull is struggling in Formula 1, likening them to fighting with one leg due to Sergio Perez’s recent poor performances. Despite a strong start to the season, Perez has faced challenges, finishing lower in the rankings and even getting eliminated in Monaco. In contrast, Red Bull’s competitors like Ferrari and McLaren have been making significant progress and have shown the ability to challenge Red Bull on different circuits. Hill highlights the need for Red Bull to up their game, especially with other teams improving and narrowing the performance gaps. Looking ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix, Hill suggests McLaren could again pose a threat to Red Bull due to their strong performance in areas like braking and cornering, particularly important on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Hill emphasizes the importance for Red Bull to adapt and improve, especially on tracks like Canada where different skills and strengths will come into play.
