Red Bull boss Christian Horner has conceded that “difficult decisions have to be made” regarding Sergio Perez’s F1 future amid a torrid Mexico City Grand Prix.
Perez had a disappointing weekend at his home round, finishing in 17th place with the third slowest time in Q1. He suffered significant damage to his RB20 after a clash with Liam Lawson and lost about 70 points of downforce. Team principal Horner acknowledged Perez’s struggles, emphasizing the importance of delivering results in Formula 1. Red Bull slipped to third in the Constructors’ Championship due to a revitalized Ferrari, putting pressure on both Verstappen and Perez to score points in the remaining races. Despite ongoing support for Perez, Horner hinted at potential changes if the team’s title prospects continue to dwindle.
