Title: Former F1 Star Slams Sergio Perez Over Red Bull Grievances: The Truth Behind the Complaints!

In a dramatic turn of events in the world of Formula 1, former racing legend Juan Pablo Montoya has unleashed a scathing critique of Sergio Perez, the Mexican driver known for his fiery complaints about his tenure at Red Bull Racing. The tension between Perez and the iconic team has reached a boiling point, and Montoya isn’t holding back in calling out the 35-year-old for his recent remarks.

Sergio Perez, who joined Red Bull at the onset of the 2021 season, made waves by stepping into the shoes of Alex Albon. Initially, he showcased impressive performances, even clinching five thrilling victories during his time with the team. However, the tides turned dramatically in 2024 as Perez’s form plummeted, ultimately leading to his exit from the powerhouse team. After a year on the sidelines, the veteran driver is set to make a comeback with Cadillac, but not without stirring the pot regarding his past experiences at Red Bull.

Recently, Perez vocalized his frustrations, claiming that no matter his performance levels, “everything was a problem” at Red Bull. He shockingly asserted that it was made abundantly clear to him that the team revolved solely around Max Verstappen. This declaration has not only raised eyebrows but also provoked Montoya, who has come out swinging against Perez’s grievances.

On his popular podcast, MontoyAS, Montoya stated, “From the perspective of a Mexican Perez fan, one could argue that Red Bull hasn’t treated him entirely fairly. But let’s be real—he knew what he was signing up for!” Montoya makes a valid point that cannot be ignored: despite the gripes, Red Bull was instrumental in helping Perez achieve those five significant victories. “How much can you complain then?” he challenged.

Montoya continued to stress the balanced nature of the situation, acknowledging that while there were moments when the car felt “undrivable,” Perez also enjoyed numerous opportunities to shine. “If he was comfortable in the car, he did an excellent job,” he emphasized, hinting that the onus of performance also lies with the driver.

As the dust settles from this fiery exchange, the question remains: will Sergio Perez take Montoya’s words to heart as he embarks on this new chapter with Cadillac? Or will he continue to let his grievances overshadow his undeniable talent? One thing is for certain: the world of Formula 1 is never short of drama, and this saga between Perez and Red Bull is far from over!
