"But sometimes people have beenꦜ very harsh on him because he’s not an idi💝ot."

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has weighed in on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s difficult F1 season with Red Bull, declaring “he’s n🧸ot an idiot”.
Perez’s future with Red Bull is in the balance after shareholders r💟eportedly held a meeting on Monday to discuss it.
The Mexican’s poor form impacted Red Bull’s constructors’ championship bid, leaving them third ove🍌rall behind McLaren and Ferrari.
As a result, Red Bull are seriously considering replacing him with either 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson.
Speaking after Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen wa🍨s🦂 once again asked about Perez’s future.
“I don’t know. This is up to the team,” he said. “I always worked really well with Checo.🍌 He’s a great guy, honestly.
“It’s 📖very rare that you have a teammate like him, who has always been very good and just a nice guy.
“I work with him ev༒ery weekend, week in, week out. 🌳I find people have been very harsh on him.
“Of course, some weekends maybe could have been better, actually. But sometimes people have been very harsh on🐲 him because he’s not an idiot.
“He’s always been regarded as a great driver. It’s been tough, but it’s been tough for e✅veryone in the team, because sometimes it was very difficuꦰlt to drive.”
Tsunoda or Lawson for Red Bull?
All signs are pointing towards Lawson getting the call-up t♊o Red Bull alongside Verstappen for ne﷽xt year.
Even though Lawson was out-qualified 6-0 by Tsunoda, the margi🔴n between the pair - aside from in Las Vegas - was often less❀ than a tenth.
T🎃he way Lawson has adapted to life in F1 with limited experience has impressed Red Bull’s hierarchy, while there are still concerns over Tsunoda’s temperament.
Tsunoda did perform well in the post-season Abu ℱDhabi test.
He declared that it didn’t require much adaptation to get ꦰused to the Red Bull RB20, explaining that it suited h🎶is driving style.
