The air is getting thinner
Perez sacked? “… then Red Bull must act!”
The air is getting thinner and thinner! After the next disappointment for Sergio Perez at Silverstone, former driver and expert Jenson Button is now calling for Red Bull to take action if the Mexican fails to score any points in the next race.
"That's a huge problem. That was just a terrible weekend. He was also unlucky in some respects. It doesn't happen every weekend," Button told Sky Sports F1 on the sidelines of the British Grand Prix. "They are on the defensive. Perez has to at least score some points." In the past six races, Perez has scored a measly 15 points. By comparison, team-mate Max Verstappen scored 119 points for the team.
"It can't go on like this. If he doesn't score points in the next race, they'll have to take him out of the car soon and put someone else in," Button emphasizes. There has recently been speculation that Liam Lawson or Daniel Ricciardo could be given the cockpit alongside Verstappen. Perez is under pressure. "It's not a nice feeling for a driver. It's tough. For a driver, it's terrible," said Button.
Update gives hope
The cards will be reshuffled again at the Hungaroring, and the Austro racing team is confident. "We are actually betting everything on the update that will come in Budapest," emphasized Head of Motorsport Helmut Marko. Then Perez will also have the chance to turn things around after six poor races in a row.
