Red Bull backed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez after a drab F1 Spanish Grand Prix but are desperate t🎉o🎃 get him back into form.

Perez qualified eighth and finished the race in the same position, as teammate Max Vers𒁃tappen 😼won again.

It means Perez - who has recently been rewarded with a new contract which should have ended doubt about h﷽is future - remains without a podium fin🐭ish for a fifth grand prix in a row.

“We put him on a three-stop,” team principal Christian Horner t🌳old Sky Spor🔴ts. “It worked out.

“He passed Pierre 🌊Gasly on the last lap. He will have taken confidence from that race.

“Theoretically we said eighth was the best that he could do today. He ach✨ieved that.

“He will have taken a bit ou🍨t of this weekend but we need to 𓄧get him more into the mix.”

Perez reacted: “I think🦩 the main problem was the starting position💮.

“I overtook Fernando but got overtaken by Nico.

“It was a really, really difficult first stint whic𒅌h compromised the race.

“It was difficult to follow in the dirty air.”

Perez has fallen behind the in-form McL﷽arens and Ferraris, and even the res꧂urgent Mercedes drivers.

Questio♒ned about Red Bull’s increasing competition, he sai𒐪d: “They are back. Really strong.

“We must deliver perfect weekends for the team.

“M💯cLaren look, at the moment, like the strongest team.

“We must make sure we come back, at different t🦹racks, to be more competitive.”

Perez knows wh☂at he wants from inside the garage to get back into the form he displayed at the start🦹 of the season, which prompted Red Bull to hand him a new contract.

“There aꦫre upgrades in the pipeline,” he said. “The same as everyone.

“But I think most important is to m🌠aximise 💧the balance, more than any upgrade.

“It has been really d𓄧ifficult on my side, at the momen✨t.”

Perez is fifth in the F1 standings ﷽after 10 rounds, behind Verstappen, Norris then bo♎th Ferrari drivers.
