Sergio Perez has recalled how Helmut Marko paid for his psychologist during his Red Bull tenure — and the cost was astronomical.
During his time with Red Bull, Sergio Perez disclosed that Helmut Marko hired a psychologist costing £6,000 per hour to work with him. The bill was apparently picked up by Marko, not the team in Milton Keynes, as indicated by Perez. Despite being relieved of his duties at the end of the 2024 season, Perez was initially seen as a solution to Red Bull’s second driver issues. However, his success only came after therapy sessions with the psychologist. Perez, who joined Red Bull in 2021, was told he needed therapy when results didn’t go his way at the start. Despite the cost, Perez attributed his improved performance and successes to the psychologist’s sessions.
