The performances of Sergio Perez have been highly disappointing. The Mexican driver joined Red Bull Racing in 2021 and initially showed promise, but his difficulties as the team’s second driver persisted. This drop in performance began after the Miami Grand Prix in 2023 and has continued into this current season. As a result, the 34-year-old driver is determined to prove himself at the Spanish Grand Prix, as he feels he has been hindered in the past few races.
In recent weeks, Perez has consistently been at the back of the pack, resulting in only four points scored in the last three races. This has generated criticism from fans, especially considering the impressive performance of the RB20 car this year. Consequently, the winner of six races is eager to demonstrate his skills and make a strong impression at the upcoming race in Spain.
Perez has expressed his belief that there have been multiple issues affecting his performance in each of the last few races. These issues have put him at a disadvantage, but he is determined to bounce back and showcase his abilities at the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite his recent unsatisfactory results, Red Bull Racing recently extended Perez’s contract for another two years. This decision has raised questions among experts about whether he is the right choice for the team. However, Perez has made it clear that he intends to finish his career with Red Bull and believes he still has a lot to offer in Formula 1.
The Mexican pilot mentioned the examples of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen, who continue to compete at a high level despite their age. This inspired Perez to realize that he still has a long way to go in his career and is determined to make the most of his time with Red Bull. However, Perez’s recent form may not guarantee him a place at Red Bull for an extended period if his teammate, Max Verstappen, continues to perform exceptionally. Therefore, Perez faces the challenge of regaining his form and helping Red Bull in their pursuit of the constructors’ championship.
