It's just not working out for Sergio Perez! The Mexican threw his car away in qualifying for the Hungarian GP and crashed into the barrier. "He really should be released," said Sky expert Ralf Schumacher.

Perez hit the wet kerbs in turn 8 and crashed into the barriers. Although the Mexican gave the all-clear over the radio, his car was wrecked. The session had to be interrupted. As a result, Perez will once again start from the back of the grid on race Sunday.

Here is a video of the accident:

Schumacher: "He should really be released"
"I don't know how much longer Red Bull wants to watch this and put up with it. I don't think there's any point anymore. And he (Perez, editor's note) knows that himself. He's now starting from the back again. The damage ... we don't even need to talk about that. Red Bull has so many drivers. This has to come to an end. He really should be released. I feel sorry for him. It's a disaster for him too," said Sky expert Ralf Schumacher.

Perez gone after the summer break?
The air is getting thinner and thinner for Sergio Perez at Red Bull. His seat is under serious threat and his performance leaves a lot to be desired. According to rumors, Perez will be replaced during the summer break. The candidates? Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson or Daniel Ricciardo.
