Rosberg urges Red Bull to consider Perez future after ‘letting F1 fans down’
Former F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg believes Red Bull should consider replacing Sergio Perez for next season after disappointing performances against Max Verstappen. Perez, who initially showed promise with two race wins and a Sprint victory, struggled to maintain consistency and had a streak of five races without reaching Q3. Meanwhile, Verstappen broke the record for consecutive wins and clinched the Drivers’ championship early. Rosberg empathizes with Perez, acknowledging the pressure and criticism he faces from fans and the need to keep the championship battle exciting. Despite Red Bull’s commitment to Perez’s contract, Rosberg suggests a change may be necessary for Red Bull to stay competitive against McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari.
