Sergio Perez has addressed his “need to perform” in the Las Vegas Grand Prix as his fight to retain his Red Bull seat ramps up.
Sergio Perez has acknowledged his “need to perform” at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, kicking off a critical triple-header for the Red Bull driver. The 34-year-old is under pressure to save his seat with the Milton Keynes squad and his F1 career due to underwhelming performances throughout the season. Despite having a contract through 2025, he risks being replaced by Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda if he doesn’t improve his form supporting Max Verstappen. After nearly ending his poor run at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Perez aims to lean on his street circuit expertise in Las Vegas. Last year, he finished on the podium but was overtaken by Charles Leclerc, a performance he hopes to replicate at this year’s better understood event.
