Guenther Steiner has outlined what he believes to be the cause of Sergio Perez’s wretched run of form at Red Bull recently.
Guenther Steiner believes Sergio Perez’s recent struggles at Red Bull are more mental than related to the RB20. He emphasized the impact of constant criticism on F1 drivers, especially those who may not be mentally strong. Despite a fresh contract extension, Perez has faced a significant dip in form, scoring only 28 points in the last eight races. Steiner suggested that Perez’s issues are not car-related but stem from the pressure and external noise affecting him. Comparing Perez’s situation to Daniel Ricciardo’s challenges at McLaren, Steiner doubts Perez’s ability to turn his form around and suggests stepping back to rebuild in a smaller team might be beneficial for the Mexican driver.
