Despite the many seemingly better options available on the driver market, despite Sergio Perez's poor performance, this is perfectly enough for Red Bull. Of course, they wouldn't be able to find a more uncompetitive , more servile driver in a car capable of winning a world championship, who would voluntarily and singingly line up second without a word.
While Max Verstappen is regularly tearing up the RB20, Perez often has trouble even getting into Q3 in qualifying. All this with a technique that, without exaggeration, clearly stands out, the best in the field for years. Despite this, a two-year contract falls into his lap, well, that's disappointing to say the least. It's like watching some old domestic "talent search" show, where no one cares about qualities, only sympathy...
"I am delighted to have committed myself once again to this great team. This is a challenge like no other, both on and off the track. I am happy to continue our journey together and to write history together for another two years. This year the challenge is greater than ever, but I am confident in the team and that we are on the verge of great success. I am excited to see what the future holds!"
"I thank everyone who has trusted me, I want to repay them with great results. We have a lot of work to do, we have to win many, many races and championships together (i.e. Max Verstappen, ed.)" - said Sergio Perez.
We don't know about you, but even a Logan Sargeant, Guanyu Zhou, Lance Stroll at Red Bull would know this level...
