Sergio Pérez remains loyal to Red Bull: Team relies on new season

Milton Keynes (dpa)-Red Bull's decision to continue using the driver Sergio Pérez after the summer break has provided discussions with motorsport fans and experts. The 34-year-old Mexican was recently criticized because of his weak achievements. But team boss Christian Horner announced that Pérez remains part of the team despite the recent speculations.

a surprising commitment to Pérez

Team boss Horner announced that he is looking forward to the next stage of Formula 1, at which Pérez should show his previous strengths again. "Checo remains a Red Bull driver," said Horner in a speech to the employees of Milton Keynes and expressed his confidence for the upcoming races.

The influence on the team victory

Pérez is in seventh place in the World Cup with only 131 points, while his team -mate Max Verstappen is ahead of 277 points. This discrepancy could become a problem for Red Bull in the fight for the designer title, which is of great importance for the distribution of prize money. A weaker driver could endanger the overall management of the team and thus also influence the income.

The expectations of the upcoming races

The next race will take place on August 25th in Zandvoort, Dutch, which is particularly important for Pérez, as Verstappen will compete in his home country. The pressure to cut off well will therefore be particularly high for him. The decision to continue to leave Pérez in his role could have both positive and negative effects on the team and the driver himself.

outlook on the second team of Red Bull

Another aspect of the current situation is that no personnel changes are expected at Red Bull's second team, the Alphatauri team. Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda are also scheduled to compete next season. Their speculation about promotion would be obsolete, although Pérez's situation can certainly also influence your own career.

Ultimately, it remains to be seen how Pérez will deal in the coming weeks and whether Red Bull's decision can prove to be correct in the long term. The next races are crucial for the form and status of the team in the current season.
