Max Verstappen feels very comfortable driving within Red Bull Racing without encountering resistance and focusing only on external challenges. According to an insider, this could be the reason why the Mexican, who is performing dramatically poorly, has not yet been fired…
It is uncomfortable for many - not only in the paddock, but also outside of it - that while a driver of the caliber of Carlos Sainz joins one of the weakest teams, the other driver of the team that supplies the world champion is a driver who often cannot even maintain the level of F2. Recently, Eddie Jordan expressed his disbelief at what is happening. Or rather, on the contrary: he understands it very well!
“When it comes to Sergio Perez, I always feel very bad for him, because I really like the guy. He is a nice guy, nice company, but while he is struggling and trying to keep his place, he is simply not up to par… And professionally he should be hopeless, at least based on his performances. However, there is Max Verstappen and Christian Horner, and I think it is their fault. The latter serves the former, because Max puts pressure on him and does not want an internal rival in the team. It is precisely for this reason that Carlos Sainz could not join Red Bull.
It’s not exactly a good sporting approach, which they should think about…” - Jordan said. It would be difficult to argue with the old man.
