Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has described 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s performance at the season-o🉐pening🌸 Bahrain Grand Prix as “impeccable”.

After qualifying fifth, P♑erez rec💝overed to finish second to hand Red Bull their first 1-2 finish since the Italian Grand Prix in September.

It was a strong drive from Perez, who got past 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz at the start before overtaking 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

While Perez did finish over 20 seconds behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, finishing behind the Dܫutchman should be the main objective if he wants 🍰to remain at Red Bull in 2025.

As ღquoted by Total Motorsport, Marko said after the race: “It wouldn’t have made any sense to push the pace. He had Sainz under control and there 🌊was no chance of moving forward.

“Perez therefore did absolutely the right thing tactically and never pushed. To put it another way, he  could have driven faste🐻r, but there was no reason to. It was an impeccable performance.”

Perez was ꦡembroiled in a close fight with the two Ferraris and Russell in the early phase of thꦯe race.

T🍸he Me൲xican felt the earlier use of DRS - with it now available to drivers after just one lap - had an impact on the racing.

“Yeah, I think star🌳ting from P5, it's always nice to make good progress,” he explained. “There were a lot of battles on track, which around this place, you just go into a very different strategy once that happens. You are sliding a lot more in traffic.

“And I think overall, it's a very good team result. Yeah, it ജwas quite close with the Ferraris, with the Mercs early on. We were fighting with the DRS, obviously, being a lap earlier. It just changes a few things out there.”
