Red Bull settled speculation about its driver lineup by confirming the renewal of Sergio Pérez until 2026. The announcement came after the Monaco GP, where the Mexican had a disastrous weekend: first He was eliminated in Q1 of the classification and then had to retire after a serious accident with Kevin Magnussen.
With his renewal confirmed at the Canadian GP, the one from Guadalajara fell again at the first change in the classification and his career ended again in abandonment after crashing into the barriers and destroying its rear wing.
Pérez’s poor performances are causing Red Bull to see its first position in the constructors’ championship in danger. It seems that this year, Max Verstappen will not be able to cope alone with the threat of Ferrari or McLaren. The Dutchman will need his teammate to raise his head and help him for the rest of the season.
‘Pullita’ from Helmut Marko to Sergio Pérez?
In contrast to the Milton Kenyes team, the performances of the two drivers of the ‘Papaya’ team are notable, constantly adding points. Between both, They have achieved one victory -Lando Norris in Miami- and six podiums. Given this situation, the advisor of the energy drinks team, Helmut Marko, praised the Woking duo.
In fact, when asked which is the best lineup of drivers on the grid, the Austrian did not point to Red Bull, but to McLaren: “Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at McLaren. They are both young, focused and hungry. At the moment, they get along well and work well together. One day they will compete for the title of champion, both as drivers and as constructors.“he declared to Le Journal.
