P1racenews AI automatic summary:
At the beginning of the season, it looked as though Sergio Perez was set for a stable year, even landing a new contract after strong performances. The situation has since changed dramatically.
“This season was meant to be a crucial one for Sergio Perez as he aimed to prove himself. Despite a second-place finish last season, his performances were inconsistent. Initially performing well, with two wins in four races, his season took a turn at the Miami Grand Prix where he was outraced by his teammate from pole position. Although helping Red Bull secure a championship finish, Perez struggled as the season progressed, scoring significantly fewer points. The British Grand Prix was a low point, with a Q1 spin resulting in a pit-lane start and a disappointing 17th-place finish. Perez’s struggles have raised questions about the stability within the team, as Red Bull faces challenges in keeping up with their competitors’ developments.”
