Once again, Sergio Perez had an extremely disappointing weekend. The Red Bull driver had problems right from the start on the grid, and the difficulties that followed were even more painful. The highlight was when he collided with Liam Lawson, destroying his car. Even the Red Bull Racing team principal did not let it go in silence.
“Formula 1 is a results-based business. If someone here doesn’t perform, first they are warned, then they are fired. We work as a team, we fight as a team, and for that we need both our cars, both our drivers. That’s the nature of Formula 1. We have always given everything to Perez and always supported him, and that will be the case next weekend in Brazil. But soon the time will come when we will have to reflect on how to proceed and make a painful decision.
We are now third in the constructors’ championship and we want to get back into the race for the win. There are still four races to go and it will not be an easy task,” Horner said harshly about Perez.
