Sergio Perez criticised for making “nonsense” claims about Red Bull.
Sergio Perez has been accused of portraying himself as the “perfect victim” after revealing negative experiences during his time as a Red Bull F1 driver, where he was dropped from the team despite having two years left on his contract. Reflecting on being Max Verstappen’s teammate, Perez described it as “the worst job in Formula 1” and criticized the team dynamics. He also claimed that Red Bull’s car was predominantly developed to cater to Verstappen’s needs. Some, like F1 observer Peter Windsor, believe Perez is making excuses for his subpar performances and suggest he should be grateful for the opportunity Red Bull provided him. Perez started off strong with Red Bull, contributing to constructors’ championships and individual wins, but his performance declined in 2024, leading to his dismissal. Windsor suggests Perez should express gratitude for his time with Red Bull and acknowledge the accomplishments he achieved with the team.
