Helmut Marko has dismissed suggestions F1 owners Liberty Media intervened to ensure 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez would rꦍemain at Red Bull and thus be driving at his home race in Mexico.

Last Monday,♔ꦿ Red Bull’s hierarchy met following the Belgian Grand Prix to discuss Perez’s future.

Perez’s poor form, scoring just 28 points in the last eight races, has 🐬left🐠 Red Bull vulnerable in the constructors’ championship to McLaren.

As a result, Red Bull were seriously considering replacing Perez with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.

However, Christian Horner confirmed Perez will remain in the car a✱s he looks to bounce back at tracks he’s traditionally performed well on (Azerbaijan, Si𓃲ngapore).

Shortly after the news, claimed Libඣerty Media asked Red Bull to reconsider Perez’s dismiꦇssal.

They were co🍒ncerned Perez’s removal from the grid would have a significant financial impact on the race in Mexic🔥o.

.

“Repo♐rts that his continued involvement is due to Liberty Media’s wish for him to drive in Mexico are not true,” he wrote.

“[Libe🔥rty] certainly want him to contest his home race, but our choice of driver is not based on Liberty’s intentions.”

Red Bull appear to be full𒅌y supporting Perez, with Marko “banking♌ on stability”.

Red Bull’s lead at the top of the standings is just 42 points over McLaren, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen hasn’t won any of the last three races.

“Sergio Perez will also be in the Red Bull Raci💛ng car after the summer break because we now have races on the tracks where he was good last year and we are banking on stability,” he added.

“He has repeatedly shown good performances in between,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ and he was also very fast in third✃ place on Saturday at the last race weekend in Spa.

“Perez doesn’t have to ꦿbecome faster, but more consi🍸stent and, given the alternatives, he is still our best solution.”
