The one thing Sergio Perez can never complain about is the support he receives from Red Bull. Now it is time to repay the faith.
Christian Horner revealed the team at Red Bull is feeling the pain seeing Sergio Perez’s struggles, but their main focus remains on supporting him to bounce back. Despite considerations of replacing Perez during the summer break due to his form decline, the team decided to continue with him as Max Verstappen’s teammate for the rest of the season to aid their Constructors’ Championship defense. Perez’s recent lackluster performance, with only 28 points in the last eight races compared to Verstappen’s 141, has put Red Bull’s position at the top under threat from McLaren. Horner emphasized the importance of getting both cars performing well again as they did earlier in the year, highlighting the need for Perez to regain form when the season resumes. Red Bull values Perez’s contribution as a team player and sees the partnership with Verstappen as successful despite the challenges faced. The team fully supports Perez and aims to see him succeed, as they believe in his abilities and want to help him overcome his current difficulties.
