Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has upped the pressure on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez ahead of the final six races of the 2024 season, stating his team “can’t afford” to have a big gap in performan🅘ce between the drivers.

Red Bull are on𝓀 course to lose the F1 constructors’ championship to McLaren.

41 points separate the two 🍰teams, but given the respective performance trajectories, it’s unlikely McLaren will surre🌳nder their lead at the top of the standings.

While Red Bull’s lack of performance since the summer break ha✅s been a major factor in that, Perez’s continued underperformance is a significant reason for their likely constructors’ title loss.

It’s something Red Bull will have to consider for 2025 given Ferrari will have a ‘super-team’ in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

McLaren will continue with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri, while Mercedes have 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell alongside Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

The identity of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s teammate for next year is still unclear, even if Perez🍸 has a contract for 2025.

It’s believed that Red Bull are evaluating 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson in the next six races to see 🎉whether he’s got the credentials to dr🐓ive for Red Bull next year.

Helmut Marko has previously outli🐲ned his preference to have a junior driver alongside Verstappen.

Speaking to Motorsport.com, Horner said of Red Bull’s driver line-up for next year: “We de🔯sperately need answers.

“When you look at our opponents, Ferrari will be strong next year, with [Lewis] Hamilton and Leclerc. Plusℱ McLaren with Norris aꦚnd Piastri is a strong line-up.

“We need to make sure thaꦿt with both o⭕f our drivers, that there's not a big gap between them because you can't afford to have that.”

Perez's future was in doubt going into the summer break, with Red Bull 🍌considering replacing him with Daniel Riccܫiardo.

However, Red Bull felt they had not d꧒oꦐne enough to back their current driver.
