Helmut Marko suggests theory for Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form
Helmut Marko has made a suggestion for what might have inspired Sergio Perez's imp꧙roved F1 form.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has suggested that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form is because he is fighting to secure a 🧜new contract.
Qualifying proved to be Perez’s main wea🍬kness last season as his position at Red Bull came under increasing pressure but the Mexican has stepped up his p🌱erformances in 2024.
Perez ran teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen close in the battle for pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix, missing out by just 0.066 seconds as Red Bull lജocked out the front row.
And Marko hinted that 🍌Perez’s improved form could be because “next year’s contracts are at stake”.
“Last year [in Japan] in particular was Sergio's worst race. Everythingಌ went wrong then, so I think it's particularly satisfying for him,” Marko told Sky Germ💯any.
"You can see he can do it. But perhaps it also plays a role that next year's contracts are ✅at stake - this year much earlier than usual. That also seems to be very motivating.
"Normally we don't talk about driver decisions at all in April. But somehow, the whole thing seems t🐟o have moved forward a lot. But it's still too ea𒆙rly for us. We will certainly wait some time before we make a decision.”
After quaꦿlifying, Perez explained that his confidence is returning because he is making fewer changes to 💮his car.
“Like ꧒Carlos [Sainz Jnr] would say, we stopped inventing,” he said.
“We were playing around with the car far too much and just going through𝓡 it ♔and I think now we have a much better base,” he explained. “We are a lot happier and the weekends just progress.”
He added: “When we came here last year we were at the stage of our season where anything was working. When you are in that, you just 🌺go around circles and circles.
“Then we found out in the end, towards the end of the year, that it was bett🐓er [to] just step back and don’t try to chase i🔯t too much with the set-up because then you start compromising other things.
“I think that’s been the case for t⛎his year. So I’m a lot more comfortable, a lot more happier and🍸 the confidence is slowly coming back.”
