Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle has admitted he will be “relieved” when a decision about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s future is made.

R🌱ed Bull repor෴tedly held a meeting on Monday to discuss Perez’s future amid his poor form.

Perez’s poor performances have resulted in 🍬Red Bull dropping to third in the F1 constructors’ championship - their worst finish since 2019.

As a result, Red Bull are considering promoting either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen for next year.

Daniel Ricciardo comparison made

When reflecting on Perez’s situation, Brundle likened it to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s.

Since leaving Renault at the end of 20🌱20, Ricciardo’s career has taken a nosedive.

He struggled to get on top of the McLaren in 2021 despite ending their win drought at Monza, while💞 he was dropped by the team in 2022.

While he showed fla𓆏shes of pace during his stint at Red Bull, he was dropped for Lawson after the Singapore Grand Pri💛x.

Speaking during Sky’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage, Brundle offered his thoughts o🍰n🗹 the situation, describing Perez as being in “purgatory”.

“I𓆏 feel th🍷e same way about Sergio as I did about Daniel Ricciardo, actually,” Brundle said.

“I have the utmost respect for the person and the driver and the victories he’s had and some of t💞he ☂great overtakes and all the things we’ve seen Sergio do.

“Sometimes in subpar cars, as well, he’s won races without the fastest car on the trac🍎k. Total respect.

“But I’ll be slig✨htly relieved when it’s over. It must be purgatory for him at the moment.

“He’s lost his mojo, he’s lost his way and all the pressure that’s be⛎ing heaped on that, it must be [difficult].

“To turn up to the track every day must be pa🍬inful.”
