Daniel Ricciardo responds to speculation that he could be thrust into the Red Bull during summer
The scrutiny on Red Bull driver Perez has ramped up, despite him being rewarded earlier this year with a new contract, after a series of drab performances.
“Even the ones that are killing it, you know, there is then pressure for them to keep performing. So my point is; we all feel it.“Even after my good race in Montreal, I said ‘I need to do another good one because you're only as good as your last race’. One good weekend doesn't quite let you off the hook. It temporarily does, but then it can quickly change.“And of course, yes, they are expecting a bit more. This is the sport, it's what we're in. We feel it all the time.
“But in my experience, and I put Checo here as well because he's also been in Formula 1 a similar amount of time, we have dealt with it enough that I think you learn just to focus on the engineering, focus on the car set up. The rest you hear it, but you just have to just roll with it.”Should Red Bull opt to replace Perez, their likeliest midseason options would come from inside their programme which includes the RB team.
But, his poor form and a series of podium finishes for Perez caused Red Bull to hand the Mexican a new deal.
