Sergio Perez had a challenging time during the Qatar Grand Prix, which raised concerns about his future at Red Bull, as he struggled in comparison to his teammate Max Verstappen and received penalties for exceeding track limits. However, he managed to bounce back in the United States with a fourth-place finish, although he initially crossed the line in sixth. Following a mistake in Mexico, Perez eventually secured second place and attributed his turnaround to spending time with his engineers to address the weaknesses in their approach to the car setup. This deep evaluation of their performance allowed them to transform their season significantly.
