Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s current run of F1 form is “unsustainable” as speculatio✤n over his future conti♓nues to mount.

Perez endured his latest torrid weekend at the British Grand Prix, suffer✨ing a Q1 elimination before going on to finish Sunday’s race in a lowly 17th after an early gambleও on intermediate tyres backfired.

Aftꦉer starting the season with three second places from the opening four rounds, Per𒐪ez has not stood on the podium since the Chinese Grand Prix in April, while he has finished no higher than seventh in the last six races amid a run of qualifying struggles.

The Mexican has slipped to sixth in the drivers’ championship and is a whopping 137 points behind Red Bull teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, who has largely bꦛeen responsible for maintaining the team’s l🐻ead in the constructors’ standings.

“He knows it’s unsustainable to not be scoring points,” Horner 𒁏admitted after Sunday’s British Grand Prix.

“We have to be scoring points in that car and he knows t♛hat. He knows his role and his target, so nobody is more eager than Checo to find his form again.”

There are growing rumours that Perez’s new two-year cont💯ract, signed only last month, contains a performance-related claus🦋e that could result in him being dropped, possibly during the current season, if he fails to turn things around.

Autosport report that Red Bull have “the ꦰright to terminate Perez’s contract if he falls more than 100 p✱oints behind Verstappen at key points of the championship - which are the summer break and the end of the season”.

Red Bull c💧ould turn to one of RB pair ಞDaniel Ricciardo or Yuki Tsunoda, or reserve driver Liam Lawson, who is driving the team’s current RB20 car at Silverstone on Thursday.

Lawson’s filming day outing has only fuelled speculation about Perez’s future but Horner moved to downplay the siꦗgnificance of the test.

“The Liam aero run has been planned for a couple of months now and for Checo, of course, he’s under p𝓀ressure. That’s normal in Formula 1," Horner said.

“And when you’re under-delivering, that pressure only mo🎐unts. He’s aware of that, he knows that and this weekend nothing has gone his way."
