Helmut Marko suggests theory for Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form
Helmut Marko has made a suggestion for what might have ins🔯pired Sergio Perez's improved F1 form.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has suggested that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form is because he is fဣighting to secur🎶e a new contract.
Qualifying prove♌d to be Perez’s main weakness last season as his position at Red Bull came under increasing pressure but the Mexican has stepped up his performances in 2024.
Perez ran teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen close in the battl💫e for pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix, missing out by just 0.066 seconds as Red Bull locked out the front row.
And Marko hinted that Perez’s improved fo🍸rm could be because “next year’s contracts are at stake”.
“Last year [in Japan] in particular was Sergio's worst race. Everything went wrong then, so I think it's particu🐬larly satisfying for him,” Marko told Sky Germany.
"You can see he can do it. But perhaps it als🌸o plays a role that next year's contracts are at stake - this year much earlier than uཧsual. That also seems to be very motivating.
"Normally we don't talk about driver de꧑cisions at all in April. But somehow, the whole thing seems to have moved forward a lot. But it's still too early for us. We will certainly wait some time before we make ൲a decision.”
After qualifying, Perez explained that his confidence is returning because he 🎉is making fewer changes to his car.
“Like Carlos [Sainz Jnr] would say, we stoppe✤d inventing,” he said.
“We were playing around with the car far too much 🌌and just going through it and I think now🦹 we have a much better base,” he explained. “We are a lot happier and the weekends just progress.”
He added: “When we came here last year we were at the stage of our season where anything wa𝓡s working. When you are in that, you just go around circles ✅and circles.
“Then we found out in the end, towards the end of the year, that it was better [to] just step back and don’t try to chase it too much with the set-up because then you start compro🌳mising other things.
“I think that’s been the case for this year. So I’m a lot more comfortable, a lot more happier and the con☂fidence is🧸 slowly coming back.”
