According to reputable German outlet , amid his struggles in F1 2023, Perez had asked Red Bull to allow him to drive𓆏 a pre-Spanish G✱rand Prix version of the car.

Perez’s best form in 2023 came in the ꦑopening handful of flyaway races.

The Mexican won two of the opening races, and looked set to take the lead of the drivers’ championship for the first time in his career until 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen snatched the fastest lap in Saudi Arabia.

From Miami onwards, where Perez was beaten to win by Verstappen (despite Perez starting from pole position; Verstappen in ninth), the former Forꦍce India driver’s form dipped considerably.

Perez failed to make Q3 in five consecutive events as Verstappen re🌱mained unbeaten during this period.

Even five months later, Perez’s performances haven’t improved, picking up three time penaℱlties for track lim꧟its in Qatar.

Consequently, there’s been intense speculation about Perez’s future despite him having a contr𒁏act for 2024.

Perez’s desire to drive a pre-upgraded version of the RB19 ❀is unsurprising given his best form came eᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚarlier in the season.

However, as expected, Red B🐠ull never entertained the idea 👍given the cost involved and the practicalities of having two different specifications of car.

It’s not c🍃ompletely unusual, with H💝aas doing so during Romain Grosjean’s stint with the team, and they soon found out their upgrades hadn’t worked as intended when comparing the two specifications.

But given Verstappen and Red Bull’s domination in 2023꧋, as far as the engineers are concerned, the car has got quicke🦄r but Perez has struggled to adapt.
