It was such a hole this year that we really got together after Qatar and we understood a lot of things we were doing with the car. So I think that has been really, really good on our side. I mean, it was bad that it happened, but in a way, it was really good because it really strengthened up our team quite a lot. Because Qatar was really the worst weekend that I remember in a while in the sport.

Looking at the reaction of the Mexican driver, it is quite clear that he has learned about a lot of things after the 2023 Qatar GP weekend. Moreover, has made it known that all the learnings are going to help him during the 2024 F1 season to perform order.

Would Sergio Perez be with Red Bull after 2024?

If Perez wants to extend his career with a top team like Red Bull, he would be required to put in a stellar campaign, otherwise, he will most definitely be shown the exit door at the end of this year. It would be in his best interest to put in performances that are as close as possible to Verstappen.

Sergio Perez has been competing at the pinnacle of motor racing for several years and has the experience to deal with difficult situations. Considering this, several eyes will be on the exploits of the 33-year-old during the 2024 season of the pinnacle of motor racing.
