168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez's form has left Red Bull battling “a little bit one-legged at the moment” against F1 rivals Ferrari and McLare🌌n, according to 1996 world champion Damon Hill.

Perez made a strong start to the season, finishing second to Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in three of the opening four races. But a dip in form has coincided with Red Bull’s F1 rivals Ferrari ♌and McLaren applying the pressur🐼e in recent events.

In the past three races in Miami, Imola and Monaco, Perez has finished fourth, eighth an🐼d crashed out on the first lap after being knocked out in Q1. Despite this, Red Bull have decided to stick with the Mexican, handing him a new two-year contract.

“I definitely think it’s game-on and there’s two teams that are both showing pace andꦫ closing the gap at certain circuits to Red Bull,” Hill told 𒁏the F1 Nation podcast.

“I think if you give Red Bull the right kind of track and they might be hard to catch them, but definꦚitely Ferrari and McLaren, don’t forget they’ve both got two driver🌌s who can attack.

“I’m not sure you can say that of Checo. So a little bit one-legged at🌠 the moment, Red Bull, if they wa✤nt to defend.

“It’s no good being three-tenths away from Versta𝐆ppen anymore, because so many cars can jump in that gap. The gaps have become smaller and smaller.

“Points-wise you can see its diminishing. Max’s run of total dominance seems to be faltering, and🍸 there is a long way to go. It’s such a long season.”

McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, who 🌃brilliantly held off Verstappen to claim his maiden F1 victory in Miami, hinted t෴hat Perez’s struggles to match his teammate have opened the door to opportunities.

“There’s plenty 𒅌of opportunities for us, and we know we still have some things coming in the future,” Norris said. “And if things turn around, then we can easily start to come back at some of the teams, you know.

“So, especially because I think we’re probably the team, along🙈 with Ferrari at least, where we have two cars up there performing at every single session and every single race in qualifying.

“So I think if you look at a lot of the grid, they don’t really have that yet, they have one guy who’s put in a mega lap and then has ꦏa good race and the other one not so much.

“So I think one of our strengths is that we’ve ﷺalway♈s had two cars up there and we can fight well along with Ferrari at the minute.”
