168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez's form has left Red Bull battling “a little bit one-legged at the moment” against F1 rivals F♊errari and McLaren, according to 1996 world champion Damon Hi𓂃ll.

Perez made a strong start to the season, finishing second to Red Bull teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen in three of the opening four races. But a dip in form has coincided with Red Bull’s F1 rivals Ferrari and McLaren𒀰 applying the pressure 🌳in recent events.

In the past three races in Miami, Imola and Monaco, Perez has finished fourth, eighth and crashed out on the first lap after bei꧃ng knocked out in Q1. Despite this, Red Bull have decided to stick with the Mexican, handing him a new two-year contract.

“I definitely think it’s game-on and there’s two team🐻s that are both showing pace and clos🃏ing the gap at certain circuits to Red Bull,” Hill told the F1 Nation podcast.

“I t🉐hink if you give Red Bull the right kind of track and they might be hard to catch them, but definitely Fe⛄rrari and McLaren, don’t forget they’ve both got two drivers who can attack.

“I’m not sure you can say that of Checo. So a little bit one-legged at the moment, Red Bull, ꦇif they want to defend.

“It’s no good being thrꦺee-tenths away from Verstappen anymore, because so ma🧜ny cars can jump in that gap. The gaps have become smaller and smaller.

“Points-wise you can see its diminishing. Max’s run of total dominance seems to be faltering, and there is a long wa🦩y to go. Iꦓt’s such a long season.”

McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris, who brilliantly held off Verstappen to claim his maiden F1 victory in Miami, hinted that Perez’s struggles to match his teammate h👍ave opened the door to opportunities.

“There’s plenty of opportunities for us, and we know we still have some things coming in the future,” Norris said. “And if things turn around, 𝓡then we can easily start to come back at some of the🍌 teams, you know.

“So, especially because I thin🐼k we’re probably the team, along with Ferrari at least, where we have two cars up there performing at every single session and every single race in qualifying.

“So I think if you look at a lot of the grid, they don’t really have that ye💯t, they have one guy whoꦯ’s put in a mega lap and then has a good race and the other one not so much.

“So I think one of our strengths is that we’ve always had two 𓃲cars up there and we can fight well along with Ferrari a🍨t the minute.”
