168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has weighed in on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s difficult F1 season with Red Bull, d🌞eclari🀅ng “he’s not an idiot”.

Perez’s future with Red Bull is i♑n the balance after shareholders reportedly held a meeti🔥ng on Monday to discuss it.

The Mexican’s poor form impacted Red Bull’s constructors’ champ🥀ionship bid, leaving them third overall beh♔ind McLaren and Ferrari.

As a result, Red Bull are seriously considering replacing him with either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.

Speaking after Sunday’s Abu D𝔉habi Grand Prix, Verstappen was once again asked about Perez’s future.

“I don’t kn😼ow. This is up to the💧 team,” he said. “I always worked really well with Checo. He’s a great guy, honestly.

“It’s very rare that you have a teammate like h🦋im, who has always been very good and just a nice guy.

“I work wit♊h him every weekend, week in, week out. I find p🌄eople have been very harsh on him.

“Of course, some weekends maybe could have been better, actually. But sometimes people have been very harsh🌼 on him because he’s not an idiot.

“He’s always been regarded as a great driver. It’s been tough, but it’s been tough for everyone in the ꦐteam, because sometimes it was very difficult to drive.”

Tsunoda or Lawson for Red Bull?

All signs are pointing towards Lawܫson getting the call-up to Red Bull alongside Verstappen for next year.

Even though Lawson was out꧒-qualified 6-0 by Tsunoda, the margin between the pair - aside from in Las Vegas - was often less thꦺan a tenth.

The way Lawson has adapted to life in F1 with limited experience has impressed Red Bull’s hierarchy, while thereꦿ are still concerns over Tsunoda’s temperament.

T💧sunoda did perform well in the post-season Abu🦄 Dhabi test.

He declared that it didn’t r♕equire much adaptatio♍n to get used to the Red Bull RB20, explaining that it suited his driving style.
