Pressure mounts on Perez as he goes from second to eighth in underwhelming F1 Belgian GP performance
Red Bull's motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has blasted Sergio Perez after he 'completely collapsed' in the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. Red Bull is set for talks on Monday to assess its driver line-up for 2025, with Perez under threat of losing his seat with the world champions. The 34-year-old has been in wretched form and went from second on the grid at Spa-Francorchamps to finish eighth.
It means that Daniel Ricciardo, Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda are in line to replace him if Red Bull want to shake up its driver line-up, although it is not yet known if the change would happen mid-season as Formula 1 teams head for the summer break. Meanwhile, Perez blamed a lack of power on the straights, traffic, tyres, strategy and even the balance of the car for his poor performance.
