According to the former head of the Le Mans winning team, Frans Verschuur, Jos Verstappen, Max Verstappen’s father, is not concerned about who will be his son’s partner at Red Bull. Instead, Jos Verstappen is more worried about the unnecessary drama within the team. Frans Verschuur stated that Jos Verstappen does not comment on the team’s problems and does not care about who is at fault. The former Formula 1 driver is not concerned about this because he has all the support he needs. However, Jos Verstappen is more concerned about the disruptions within the team and has previously stated that Red Bull was on the verge of collapse.
Frans Verschuur suggests that Red Bull may have kept Sergio Perez to maintain peace within the team, but he disagrees with this approach. He believes that Red Bull should have removed Perez from the team to improve the situation. Frans Verschuur is confused about why Sergio Perez received a two-year contract extension. He believes that Perez has caused many problems for the team and does not contribute enough. Perez’s performance in the last three races has been far behind Verstappen, which has not helped Red Bull in the championship battle. Frans Verschuur feels that Max Verstappen has to deal with everything alone.
Frans Verschuur states that Red Bull should give a spot to Yuki Tsunoda instead of Sergio Perez. He believes that Tsunoda would provide the much-needed support to Red Bull in the title battle. Currently, Red Bull fans are hoping that Perez can recover and score points for the team in order to maintain a strong lead in the Constructors’ Championship.
