Sergio Perez's dismal form is a major problem for Red Bull with rival teams consistently challenging them during the 2024 Formula 1 season.
While Max Verstappen's collision with Lando Norris unsurprisingly dominated the headlines at the Austrian Grand Prix, Red Bull's biggest issue at their home circuit was the continued underperformance of Sergio Perez. Verstappen was on course to complete a Sprint and race double at the Red Bull Ring before a slow second pit stop gave Norris the chance to attack him and led to a collision with eight laps to go that ruined both of their chances.
Horner: Pressure remains irrelevant of contractsHorner has defended Perez throughout his poor run of form, but during an interview with Sky Sports F1 in Austria on Saturday, appeared to hint for the first time that Perez's contract alone isn't enough to guarantee his 2025 seat. 'We're doing our best to support him and to fire what it is that's missing,' Horner said.
