Sergio Perez has been unable to mount a challenge against teammate Max Verstappen and a former rival of Red Bull believes the Mexican has been ground down.
Former Renault F1 Managing Director Cyril Abiteboul believes that Max Verstappen’s dominance has had a “cruel” effect on his teammate Sergio Perez, as the Mexican driver has struggled to match Verstappen’s level of performance. Verstappen has broken numerous records this season and clinched his third consecutive F1 title. Despite an initially strong start for Perez, with two wins and a podium finish, he has experienced a dip in form, hampered by various incidents. However, Perez still maintains a comfortable lead over Lewis Hamilton in the race for second place in the Drivers’ standings. Abiteboul also praised Red Bull’s overall performance, stating that they have carried on the dominance that Mercedes had in previous years, and commended Verstappen’s maturity and calmer demeanor.
