"That's not a problem"
Perez about to quit RB? Now Verstappen is speaking out
The air is getting thinner and thinner for Sergio Perez, the Mexican is threatened with leaving Red Bull due to disappointing performances. In any case, Max Verstappen stands behind his colleague.
"I support him every weekend. I answer all his questions, including about the setup," Verstappen emphasized in the ORF interview. "I have a very good relationship with him, that's not a problem at all."
Discussion about Perez's future
In the battle for the constructors' championship, runner-up Perez could become a decisive factor. The Mexican has not finished in the top six for seven races, but in Hungary he improved by nine positions to seventh after a qualifying crash thanks to a good strategy. His future with the Austro racing team will be decided after next weekend in Belgium, the last race before the season break. "On Monday after Spa, I will fly to England and discuss the procedure with (team boss Christian) Horner," said Marko.
Cash windfall for employees
The 81-year-old explained that the team ranking is particularly relevant for the employees due to the financial bonuses they receive if they win the title. Various performance clauses in Perez's contract, which the 34-year-old is currently unlikely to fulfill, could result in a change in the second Red Bull cockpit in the near future.
