Sergio Perez warned by former manager that he needs to ‘step up a gear’Soundly beaten by Max Verstappen last season and unable to hold onto P2 in the Drivers’ standings, Sergio Perez’s former manager Adrian Fernandez has warned the driver he has to up his game this year.
Verstappen romped to a second Drivers’ Championship title, wrapping it up with four races to spare, but Red Bull weren’t able to secure the 1-2 finish with Perez losing P2 to Charles Leclerc, three points behind the Ferrari driver. “Max has of course been driving for Red Bull for some time and the team is built around him. Considering that, Checo is certainly not doing wrong and is probably doing exactly what the team wants him to do.“Red Bull was very strong last year, but if the competition is closer next season, it will be even more important for the team to have two drivers at the front.”The former Mexican race car driver believes Perez is lacking the “consistency” needed to launch a title tilt.
“Being fastest over a lap once, finishing a session on top or winning a race, it’s all well and good but if you’re going for the championship you’re going to have to be strong all season. “Max is virtually untouchable at the moment. He hardly makes mistakes. And if something unexpectedly goes wrong, he still knows how to overcome that setback.
“And when you have someone next to you who is as strong as Max and always fast like him from the first lap, it is quite intimidating.”
