While teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen dominated the Qatar Grand Prix, Perez endured another weekend to forget. First, he could only qualify 13th for Sunday’s main race on Friday, before he was🌠 caught up in a three-car collisi🦩on in the following day's sprint race. 

Things did not improve on Sunday for Perez, who was forced into a pit lane start after Red Bull elected to change his power uniꦦt after he picked up extensive damage in Saturday’s crash. 

Perez recovered through the field but picked up a trio of time penalties for exceeding track limits which relegated him to 10th place, meaning he left Losail with j🎃ust a single point to his name. 

Over the course of the weekend, the Mexican saw his lead over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the battle for second in the drivers’ championshiౠp shrink to 30 points. 

“The gap [between Verstappen and Perez] is simply too big at the moment because second p😼lace in the World Championship is also at risk now,” Marko told ORF after Sunday’s race. 

Despite holding a valid contract for 2024, Marko suggested that Perez’s position at Red𝓀 Bull is “entirely up to him now”. 

“In general we want to implꦗement the contractual situation, which lasts until 2024. And that’s entirely up to him now,” Marko continued. 

“But then we have three relatively good dওrivers in AlphaTauri.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has been tipped as Red Bull’s first ▨choice to replace Perez, either during 2024 itself or at the end of the year, if Perez fails to improve his performances. 

Ricciardo’s AlphaTauri teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda is also vying for a Red Bull seat, while168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson is waiting in the wings for a full-time opportunity after his impressive cameos as a stand✨-in for the injured Ricciardo. 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he will sit down with Perez after his “horribl✤e weeken♔d” in Qatar. 

"Checo has had a bit of a shocker of a race. He's had a horrible weekend - the incident on Saturday and unfortunately the three penalties in the race,” Horner told Sky.&nbsᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚp;

"Without those penalti🍌es, he would be a lot fur🥂ther up the points scoring on a day Lewis didn't score, so a missed opportunity to really try and cement that second place.

"We jus🐽t need to try and get that form that he showed at the beginning of the season back. We𒅌 know he's got it within him.

"Nothing has really fundamen🔯tally changed that much. He's got into a bit of a spiral and he needs to put the brakes on that, reset and use this period, the two weeks to come back in Austin, another Sprint weekend, and really attack it, do the best he can and extract the most out of himself."
