Damon Hill has criticised Sergio Perez’s recent form and how it is impacting Red Bull.
1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill expressed concern over Sergio Perez’s “really disastrous” form after the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite making it to Q3 for the first time since the Miami Grand Prix, Perez’s three-place grid penalty saw him start in P11. Even with a competitive car like Verstappen’s winning in Spain, Perez only managed to finish eighth. Hill emphasized the importance of strong results from both Red Bull drivers in the constructors’ championship fight. Perez himself labeled the Spanish GP as a “nightmare”, highlighting constant setup changes and desperate measures taken during the weekend. Despite being considerably slower than Verstappen, Perez remains hopeful for improvements and finding balance in upcoming races.
