168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez could still save his Red Bull career in Qatar, he has been told.

But his task was made harder by a dreadful Friday, qual🃏ifying 16th for Saturday's sprint race.

The Red Bull driver h💖as come under increasing pressure as the season haꦡs worn on, with speculation that he could be axed for 2025.

Christian Horne♊r has bꩲeen unable to confirm that they will stick with Perez long-term.

“For him to come out here, and to put in a good result, is difficult when you’ve had such a negative ruܫn of results,” Jenson Button told Sky Sports before Perez qualified 16th.

“But if he has two magni💝ficent races, beats Max Verstappen, then he’s got a really good chance of keeping his drive because everyone thinks of the last race in this sport. They really do!

“But if it continues like it has continue⭕d, I can’t see him being here next year.

“He won’t be here for his performances, will he?”

Naomi Schiff added: “At some point you’ve🦋 got to ask, when is it too little, too late?

“This weekend the⛦y ar💯e still within a fighting chance of the constructors’.

“So if he can get out there? Who knows…”

Red Bull have conceded the advantage in the constructors’ championship to McLaren, and have also been overtake🐠n by Ferrari, largely because of Perez’s inability to score points.

The Mexican was boosted by a new cont⭕ract mid-way through this season in an attempt to give him confidence but it hasn’t worked out.

RB teammates Liam Lawson and Yuki T💮sunoda will both🍸 be considered as potential Perez replacements.

Franco♐ Colapinto of Williams was also assessed by Red Bull as they ponder what to do.
