SkySports F1 commentator Martin Brundle has critiqued Red Bull’s Sergio Perez for his lackluster run in the championship this season. Perez has been unable to triumph in a race since the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Sergio Perez‘s inconsistent form has been a worrying factor for the Milton-Keynes-based team since the previous season. The 34-year-old has scored only 17 points in the last six races, despite starting the campaign on a convincing note.
Martin Brundle has therefore claimed that the Mexican’s struggles might cost Red Bull the championship this year. The Milton-Keynes outfit faces stringent pressure from second-placed McLaren, who have been formidable on track.
And we know about the commerciality of Sergio, we know about the Mexican Grand Prix coming up, we know he’s a great foil, generally speaking, to Max, doesn’t bother Max and it helps Max to get on well, so all of that, but at the end of the day, he’s got to deliver, because it’s going to cost them the Constructors Championship.Martin Brundle spoke on the SkySports F1 podcast
The six-time Grand Prix winner has failed to deliver his worth after signing a new contract extension this season. Perez will now have to be compelled to score podiums and wins to support his team in the title race going forwards.
Sergio Perez is certain of continuing with Red Bull after Belgian GP
Sergio Perez cleared the air on rumors and speculations regarding his future during the drivers conference ahead of the Belgian GP. Red Bull earlier claimed that a decision on Perez’s future will be made during the summer break.
Yes correct. I know what’s in my contract. I know the team trusts in me. I know where the main focus which is on delivering on track.Sergio Perez during the drivers conference, via CRASH
Perez’s contract contains a performance clause, which he must cater to wholly in order to remain with the team. However, he has failed to live up to the expectations of the team and that of his contract in the past few races.
Sergio Perez now risks getting replaced at ahead of 2025 if he continues to underperform. He will now have to give it his all to finish in the front row in Spa-Francorchamps to keep his seat at Red Bull for thee upcoming years.
