A touted replacement for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez at Red Bull has been knocked back because the༺ir management 𒊎don’t “rate him”, it has been claimed.

After the F1 Qatar൩ Grand Prix, Valtteri Bottas was suggested by 🐻some onlookers to be the answer to Red Bull’s problems.

Bottas is soon out-of-contract, will lose his Sauber seat and won’t be 🐼in Formula 1 in 2025 unless something hu🌌ge changes.

Sergio Perez’s Red Bull replacement?

Perez’s form 🌜won’t be enough to stay in his Red Bull seat next year, it was debated on the F1 Nation podcꦕast.

“No, not in the way that he would need to keep running in that 🍌team,” Alex Jacques analysed. “It’s a sad thing to say.

“He is a six-time grand prix winner who has had some great days. But I don’t think h👍e wiꩲll continue with that team.”

Tom Clarkson asked: “I will revisit the Valtteri Bottas thing - name me someone better wh🗹o is available?”

Jacques replied: “I could name lots of people. But Helmut Marko doesn’t think he’s any g💞ood so it’s 🐎not going to happen.

“The power dynamic in that team, Mܫarko has never t🥀hought he is a top driver.”

Clarkso🅰n said: “We need Helmut to come and sit next to us. With Max in the other car, you need a quick, consistent, apolitical driver to bang it into🍒 the top five.”

Jacques: “Two or three tenths from Max’s time in qual⛦ifying, put it into the top five, that gets you closer to the constructors’.

“He was brilliant for Mercedes at doing that. But th�ꦇ�ey’re not doing that.”

Valtteri Bottas “they don’t like me” claim

Bo🤡ttas claimed that “there are some people at Red Bull who don’t really like me”.

That indꦯividual was later identified as Marko, by Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz.

wuqian0821.c🦩om learned in the Qatar paddock that Red Bull won’t make a decision on the under-fire Perez’s future un🀅til after this weekend’s season-finale in Abu Dhabi.

Horner said Perez will be left to “come to his own conclusions” about whether to stay in his r🍎ace seat.

Is Yuki Tsunoda the answer?

RB teammates Yuki Tsunoda and 🎃Liam Lawson are the key candidates to replace Perez, from Red Bull’s sister team.

But Jacques commented on Tsunoda: “I don’t thi𒉰nk they’v🔯e ever rated him, truly.

“He’s had four years in Formula 1✱ because of the H🐬onda programme.

“Yuki🎀 has a high ceiling of performance but the🃏y worry about his consistency.

“There are differences of opinion there, wh൲ich is why it has taken time to resolve this.”

The postseason test next Tuesday in Abu Dhabi mig🎃ht be the final chance for drivers to state their case.

“Maybe, if 🃏he has an incredible test,” Jacques said ab🌼out Tsunoda.

“Remember how much they talked up Daniel Ricciardo’s testꦫ last year at Silverstone?

“I think it will be Liam Lawson or Yuki.”

Haas Test and Reserve Driver Pi🐲etro Fittipaldi added: “Checo is my friend and I want him to continue. But I agree they will get someone from within their pool of drivers.

“Maybe it’s for the bes𒆙t that he doesn’t continue. But as a racer, I know he wants to race.

“I would put Tsunoda in. The test in ꦏAbu Dh▨abi, you can definitely tell.”
