Christian Horner has hit back at critics with “1% of the facts” who have put 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s race engineer under fire.

The Red Bull boss was made awa🌺re of criticism in Perez’s home country of Mexico, where this weekend’s grand prix takes place, for Hugh B𓆏ird.

Bird has been the voice in Perez’s ear durin✅g races since the driver joined Red Bull in 2021 but is seemingly the focus of critics in Mexico.

“Look, I mean, when you put yourself out there as a race engineer 🦄and you're the voice speaking to the driver, in toda෴y's world of digital media, everybody has an opinion,” Horner responded.

“Everybody has their own view on things.

“Now, I think Hugh does a 🃏super job. He's a really bright guy.

“He✃'s grown up in the team. He's out there giving his best for his driver, for his team.

“And I think♎ i𒀰t's very harsh for people to judge and criticise from the outside when they have about 1% of the facts of what he's actually dealing with.

“The great thing about opening💦 up everythi🌳ng in Formula 1 is the access that we now give.

“The downside is the amount of armchair specialists and experts that we get that it opens up t♛o.

“Hugh Bird is a very talented eng🌳ineer and an important part of our team, and I think any criticism of him is unfair.”

Scrutiny over Perez will only heighte♏n after his terrible qualifying for his home race at the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.

Having ꩵadmitted his season so far wa𝓰s “terrible”, Perez qualified in 18th.

''Unfortunately, the hoped-for upswing has not happened,” Helmut Marko ominously told Sk♎꧑y Germany.

RB duo Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda are waiting in💃 the wings iꦑf Red Bull lose faith in Perez.
