That’s the view of Jenson Button at the F1ౠ United States Grand Prix for S🉐ky Sports.

Perez is embroiled in a constant talk♛ing point about his future with Red Bull, even though he and Christian Horner hav🔯e claimed that his 2024 contract will be honoured.

“If൩ you take Max out of the equation, Red Bull ar𒁏e the fourth-best team,” Button said.

“That’s the way you’ve got to look at it.

“Max is making the difference and there is such a big d🅠ifference between them.”

Martin Brundle added: “Red Bull can’t afford to take a passenger into next year because othe♏r teams ꦜare coming at them.

“They want the same as Se🍸rgio, fﷺor him to get back his form.

“If he doesn’t in these next five races? Red Bull have a decision to ✱take.

“If he can’t get his form back? His moꦏjo? What would you do, as a Premier League manager or a F1 team boss? Just say ‘oh it’ll be alright…’”

Jamie Chadwick said: “There is a big thing in confidence. Lando and Oscar, it’s༒ quite rare to see two teammates so close. 

“Normally you’ve got oneꦦ confident, one not so confident. Max i♊s at his peak, pushing boundaries. Checo is not.”

Peꦬrez qualified only in ninth for Sunday’s United States Grand Prix despite driving the much-feted RB19.

Daniel Ricciardo’s latest comeback, this time from injury, for R𓆏ed Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri is an extra layer of pressure on the much-coveted 🌠seat that Perez currently has.
