F1 driver threatened with retirement
Horner warns: “You can’t afford that!”
The pressure on Sergio Perez is growing! The Mexican still has six races to convince the Red Bull team of his worth. Otherwise, the 34-year-old could be sacked. Because the competition never sleeps, as RB team boss Christian Horner knows.
In the constructors' championship, McLaren (516) recently extended its lead over Red Bull (475) to 41 points. And Ferrari (441) is already putting the pressure on. The once dominant racing team is even threatening to drop back to third place - that would be a super disaster for Red Bull.
Red Bull wants to prevent a "big gap"
"We urgently need answers," Christian Horner's alarm bells are ringing. He told Autosport: "I think if you look at our opponents, Ferrari will be strong next year with Hamilton and Leclerc. And McLaren also has a strong pairing with Norris and Piastri. We have to make sure with our drivers that there isn't a big gap between the two, because you simply can't afford that."
187 points between Verstappen and Perez
There are currently a whopping 187 points between championship leader Max Verstappen (331) and his team-mate Sergio Perez (144). This means that the latter urgently needs to improve if he wants to sit in a Red Bull cockpit in 2025.
