Desperate Red Bull to ‘sit down’ with Perez after Qatar nightmare
Red Bull Team Principal, Christian Horner, plans to have a discussion with Sergio Perez and focus on going back to the fundamentals after another challenging weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix. Despite showing improvement after the summer break with a second-place finish at Monza, Perez’s performance has been inconsistent since his crash at the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying. Unfortunately, his weekend at Lusail International Circuit was marred by a crash in the Sprint, although he wasn’t at fault, and subsequent repairs forced him to start from the pit lane. Multiple track limit violations resulted in time penalties, and Perez only managed to secure a single point for a tenth-place finish. Horner expressed the need for Perez to rediscover his form, as they aim to maintain their second place in the championship standings and capitalized on missed opportunities in recent races. The team plans to fully support Perez during the upcoming triple-header of races in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Despite the setbacks, Horner emphasized Perez’s capabilities and the desire to see him return to the level he demonstrated at the Monza race.
