Marko refutes pressure from Liberty Media to retain Perez until the Mexico Grand Prix
Helmut Marko has insisted Sergio Perez is still the best option to finish the Formula 1 season alongside Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen. Perez's slump in performance in the second quarter of the campaign has allowed McLaren to narrow the gap to Red Bull in the constructors' standings to 42 points by the summer break.

Marko refuted speculation that F1 owner Liberty Media had a hand in its driver choice. 'Reports that his continued involvement is due to Liberty Media's wish for him to drive in Mexico are not true,' he said.
