Martin Brundle has suggested that Red Bull must be wishing they still had Alex Albon in their F1 driver pool amid Sergio Perez’s struggles.
Sergio Perez is facing increasing pressure to keep his Red Bull F1 seat despite having a contract for the 2024 season due to his lackluster performances this year. He is currently second in the championship, but has struggled to match the dominant displays of his teammate Max Verstappen. Verstappen has won 15 races this season, while Perez has only won two. Verstappen’s performances have been so impressive that his points haul alone would keep Red Bull at the top of the constructors’ standings. Commentators have suggested that Alex Albon, who was dropped by Red Bull in 2020, may have been a better choice. The final races of the season will be critical for Perez’s future with the team, as Red Bull cannot afford to have a underperforming driver in 2024.
