Sergio Perez future update: “It’s his seat to lose” after “strong” Japanese GP
Sergio Perez's future is in his own hands, says Christian Hor🍷ner.
Christian Horner has declared that the Red Bull seat for 2025 is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s “to lose” following a strong weekend at the Japanese G♍rand Prix.
Perez qualified within a tenth of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen at Suzuka on Saturday before 🌄helping Red Bull secure their third 1-2 finish of the season.
T൲he Mexican’s performance was particularly impressive because as he endured one of his worst weekends as a Red Bull driver in Japan last ﷺyear.
Perez's future is still uncertain with Red Bull undecided on who will partne𝔉r Verstappen for next year.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso have been rumoured, however, Perez’s impressive form will surely make him ꦉthe favourite to secure another year with the team.
Speaking on Sunday after the race,ꦓ Horner says Perez has “started the s🥀eason in the best possible way”.
“I think his confidence is high, he’s very focused on th𒁏e job at hand, and he’s comfortable in the team,” Horner said.
“And he know🦩s he’s out of contract for next year, it’s his seat to lose, he’s very popula♊r in the team, and he’s started the season in the best possible way.”
While Perez finished over 12 s𝓰econds behind his teammate, it was a relatively smooth race fꦺor him.
The high tyre degradation at Suzuka meant that the undercut was powerful meaning Perez lost out on track position to the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris through the pit stop phase.
Perez then carved his way back through, pulling off some daring overtakes into th💖e high-speed left🏅-hander of 130R.
Horneไr admitted he had to close his eyes when P💃erez was attempting these ballsy overtakes.
“I thought Checo in particular has had a strong weekend,” Horner added. “T𒀰o qualify within a tenth of his teammate here.
“Race pace was strong obviously, he had the disadvantage of having t෴o come back through the tr🐟affic.
“There were a couple of moments where, I must admit, I had my eyes shut as♊ he went into 130R… do you need to do it there? Can’t you wait until the straight?
“He didn’t look like he had th꧃ree kids when he made that move!”
