Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has shrugged off the significance of Liam Lawson’s upcoming test for the team amid speculation surrounding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s future.

Over the British Grand Prix weekend, reports emerged suggesting that Perez could be replaced i✅f he doesn’t enjoy a significant upturn in form.

The Mexican has scored just 15 points in the last six races, a worrying dip▨ in form which🌺 could see him drop to eighth in the drivers’ championship given Mercedes’ resurgence.

Coincidentalꦇly, Red Bull junior Laws🤪on will test the RB20 at Silverstone in a promotional event.

Speaking after the race on Sunday, Horner told media at Silverstone, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top are present i𝕴n the paddock,🔥 that Lawson’s test had been planned a couple of months ago.

“The problem is if you read too much into these things, I’m actually doing a laꦉp at Silverstone in the RB8 on Thursday as well,” Horner said. “So you n🍬ever know!

“No, in all seriousness, the Liam test, aero run, has been planned for♛ a couple of months now.”

Perez endured another mi🐻serable race at the British GP as he was lapp♛ed twice.

He was knocked out in Q1 after a spin at Copse before an𝄹 early switch to 🌄the intermediates didn’t pay off.

“Of course, Checo, of course he's under pressure,” Horner added. “That's 🌠normal in Formula 1. And when you're underd꧙elivering, that pressure only mounts. He’s aware of that, he knows that.

“This weekend, it just hasn’t, nꦕothing has really gone his way. We took a gamble in the race. He started on the hard tire, he was making decent progress early on in the race. The rain started to arrive, he was P15 or 16 at the time, you roll the dice a little at that ♒point as they did with Leclerc.

“He went onto🍸 the inter. If he’d have,♑ if the rain had picked up, he’d have looked a hero. It didn’t. So you don’t. And then he had an extra stop and the time loss of being on an inter on a drying track was haemorrhaging a lot of time for him. So yeah. Obviously a lot to look at from over the weekend.”

Perez’s stuttering form does compromise Red Bull’s chances of winning the constructors’ championshไip this year.

While Red Bull are 71 points clear in the standings, McLaren are likely going to be their nearest challenger in the second half of t💮he year due to the contrasting fortunes with Ferrari.

Horner conceded Perez’s form isn’t 'sustainable'.

“He knows it’s unsustainable to not be scoring points,” he added. “We have to 🎃be scoring points in that car, and he knows that.

“He knows his role and his ta𒁃rget. Nobody is more eage﷽r than Checo to get back and find his form again.”
