Red Bull's Helmut Marko piles pressure on Sergio Perez with ‘up to him now’ verdict amid ongoing F1 slump

While teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen do🌜minated the Qatar Grand Prix, Perez endured another weekend to forget. First, he could only qualify 13th for Sunday’s main race on Friday, befo﷽re he was caught up in a three-car collision in the following day's sprint race.
Things did not improve on Sunday for Perez, who was forced into a pit lane start after Red Bull elected ꦬto change his powe🐟r unit after he picked up extensive damage in Saturday’s crash.
Perez recovered through the field but picked up a trio of time penalti෴es for exceeding track limits which relegated him to 10th place, meaning he left Losail with just a single point to his name.
Over the course of the weekend, the Mexican saw his lead over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the battle for second in the drivers’ championship shrink to 30 p🍎oints.

“The gap [between Verstappen and🥃 Perez] is simply too big at the moment because seco⭕nd place in the World Championship is also at risk now,” Marko told ORF after Sunday’s race.
Despite holding a valid co🌺ntract for 2024, Marko suggested that Perez’s position 💞at Red Bull is “entirely up to him now”.
“In general we want to implement the contractual situa💟tion, which lasts until 2024. And that’s en♔tirely up to him now,” Marko continued.
“But then we have three relatively good 💧drivers in AlphaTauri.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has been tipped as Red Bull’s first choice to replace Perez, either during 2024 it𝐆self or at the end 🐓of the year, if Perez fails to improve his performances.
Ricciardo’s AlphaTauri teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda is also vying for a Red Bull seat, while168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson is waitin🙈g in the wings for a full-time opportunity after his impressive cameos as a stand-in for the injured Ricciardo.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said𒁃 he will sit down with Perez after his “horrible weekend” in Qatar.&nbs🌼p;
"Checo has had a bit of a shocker of a race. He's had a horrible weekend - the incident on Saturday and unfortunately the three 🍒penalties in the race,” Horner told Sky.
"Without those penalties, he would be a lot further up the points scoring on a day Lewis didn't score, so a mi♐ssed opportunity to really try and cement that second place.
"We just need to try and get th🐟at form that h🌞e showed at the beginning of the season back. We know he's got it within him.
"Nothing has really fundamentally changed that much. He's got into a bit of a spiral and he needs to put the brakes on that, reset and use this period, the two weeks to come back in Austin, another Sprint weekend, and really attack it, do the 💮best he can and extract the most out of himself."
