Formula 1 Today: Pérez’s Qualifying Woes at British Grand Prix Fuel Speculation Over His Future at Red Bull
Silverstone, England – In a disappointing turn of events, Sergio Pérez’s struggles in qualifying at the British Grand Prix have raised questions about his future with Red Bull. The Mexican driver spun out of the first qualifying session, getting beached in the gravel after losing control of his car at the Stowe corner.
Pérez, who signed a new deal with Red Bull after the Monaco Grand Prix, has only managed to score 15 points in the last five races, sparking concerns about his performance. According to sources, if his poor form continues into the summer break, Red Bull might consider replacing him.
The team’s increasing alarm over Pérez’s declining form comes as McLaren appears to be a strong contender for victory in every race. Despite the new deal aimed at ending uncertainty over his future, Pérez’s season has taken a turn for the worse.
“Earlier in the day, McLaren CEO Zak Brown hinted that his team could challenge Red Bull for the constructors’ championship, given Pérez’s current struggles.”
This development could pave the way for drivers like Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda to step up and replace Pérez. New Zealander Liam Lawson would also be in contention to replace either of them.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen, Pérez’s teammate, narrowly avoided elimination from Q1, running wide at the same point as the rain intensified. However, he managed to progress to the next round.
As the Formula 1 news and standings continue to unfold, all eyes will be on Pérez’s performance in the coming races. Will he be able to turn his season around, or will Red Bull be forced to explore other options? Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Formula 1 calendar.
