'He just lacks the speed and then you suddenly see that he is no longer there.'
Christijan Albers is baffled that Red Bull ’s management “don’t see” that Sergio Perez cannot help Max Verstappen in the midst of McLaren’s charge.
But while a penalty for impeding cost Piastri his front row grid slot in Imola, Perez’s day was even worse as he was bumped out of qualifying in Q2.He wasn’t able to recover, finishing the race in eighth place while Verstappen just managed to hold onto the win ahead of the fast-charging Norris. “This is exactly what we’ve always talked about. If Red Bull is not competitive, then you simply have a problem with such a team-mate,” the former F1 driver told“I’m always surprised that they don’t see that. I wonder how that analysis is done internally at Red Bull.”Declaring Perez “lacks the speed”, Albers reckons while that was manageable in yesteryear when Red Bull’s car was comfortably quicker than the chasing pack.
