We ourselves have repeatedly expressed our dissatisfaction with how a driver of Sergio Perez's caliber can acquire world champion-level technique. Before we have to prove ourselves right, Sergio Perez will do it for us.
Again and again, with increasingly noticeable and weaker performances. All this so rudely that the Mexican press, which can otherwise be considered absolutely friendly, is starting to back down and be increasingly critical of him. The criticism is absolutely justified, since e.g. Yuki Tsunoda has reached Q3 more times with Racing Bull than Perez with the big team. Let's be honest, this is a joke!
“Perez is performing terribly, and Red Bull Racing exists in two separate universes,” wrote Reforma, one of the most widely read newspapers, always loyal to Sergio Perez. The others did not spare him either, and in fact…
“While Max Verstappen was able to overcome the limitations of the RB20 and win a race at the Canadian Grand Prix, Sergio Perez was at the other extreme. Just like in Monaco: zero points, a poor performance…”
"Bad performance after worse, this is the worst season of Sergio Perez's career. The new contract is fantastic, but his downfall is very ugly..."
Maybe that two-year contract was a bit premature. Let's hope it's split 1+1 and has a performance clause, because that's unworthy of Red Bull and unworthy of Formula 1.
