P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Sergio Perez could find himself out of a drive at Red Bull in August, with plenty eager to take his place. But who should it be?
Sergio Perez’s future at Red Bull seemed secure just five weeks ago after signing a contract extension with the team. However, his recent poor form has put Red Bull’s defence of the constructors’ championship in jeopardy. Perez has only scored 15 points in his last six races, compared to 103 in the first six, leaving Red Bull just 71 points ahead of Ferrari and 78 clear of McLaren. There are clauses in Perez’s contract that allow Red Bull to bring in a replacement if he falls 100 points and five places behind teammate Max Verstappen. At the moment, Perez is 137 points behind Verstappen and is sixth in the drivers’ standings, just seven points ahead of George Russell and eight in front of Lewis Hamilton. If Perez is replaced, Red Bull has several options, and fans are encouraged to vote on a poll or provide alternative suggestions in the comments section.
