Perez, although sure to be popular in Mexico, is fight𝔍ing for hi𒈔s future.

He is contracted for 2024 and Christian Horne🍌r has denied that retaining his seat is dependent on clinging 💜onto P2 in the drivers’ championship.

Yet rumours constantly swirl a🎉bout Perez’s status.

Ralf Schumacher told F1-Insider: “Max makes the difference. Every great champion tries to tune the car for his needs and also have it developed𝓰. 

“That was the c🍬ase with my brother, with Senna and also with Le🥀wis Hamilton. 

“The weaker teammate ha﷽s to live with it. It is up to each driver to convince his team.&♐nbsp;

“A Formula 1 team always sides with the driver who promises more success. That's the way ﷽the business w🅺as and is."

Schumacher said about Perez: “He 🧔drives the same car as Verstappen and doesn't keep up with him. 

“✃The race in Austin wasn't bad. But celebrating a fifth place, which was Sergio before Hamilton's disqualification, is simply not enough for a Red Bull driver. 

“The whistles aga𒊎inst Max were unspeakable. He makes the difference as a driver and that's why the fans should pay tribute to his special achievements with applause."
