An F1 analyst discussed Red Bull’s alleged intention to offer Sergio Perez a two-year contract extension, despite his unconvincing performances. The analyst suggests that the team is seeking to keep their three-time world champion, Max Verstappen, by keeping Perez on board.
Perez joined Red Bull at the beginning of the 2021 season and has secured five victories with the team. However, the 34-year-old driver has shown noticeable inconsistency since the previous season and has often failed to score points reliably.
Earlier this season, rumors emerged that Max Verstappen could be considering leaving Red Bull due to internal conflicts within the team, despite having a contract until the end of 2028. An F1 commentator from SkySports, Bernie Collins, stated that Red Bull wants to maintain the successful partnership for the 2022 and 2023 seasons for the constructors’ championship.
Red Bull had a strong start to this year’s season, leading the constructors’ championship after eight races. However, Perez’s inconsistency in the recent races allowed Ferrari to close the gap on the Austrian team. Ferrari currently leads the championship with just a 24-point advantage.
A Technical Consultant from Red Bull accused the other teams on the grid of lacking innovation in their cars and upgrades. He claims that rivals have copied Red Bull’s upgrades. Although Red Bull dominated the season initially, their performance has declined in recent races.
Ferrari y McLaren han mostrado una mejora significativa en su rendimiento este año y están desafiando activamente a los actuales campeones mundiales. Helmut Marko, representante de Red Bull, afirma que ambos equipos han alcanzado el estándar de Red Bull en el tercer año de las regulaciones actuales, que se introdujeron a principios de 2022.
Red Bull ha ganado cinco de las ocho carreras de esta temporada, todas con Max Verstappen. Sin embargo, McLaren y Ferrari han ganado un total combinado de tres carreras, lo que indica una disminución en el rendimiento de Red Bull. El próximo evento en Canadá atraerá la atención hacia Red Bull por varias razones.
