Red Bull still wants to see more from Perez, with decision looming on his future
Sergio Perez may have got himself back in Formula 1's points in Hungary, but his Red Bull bosses are clear they still want to see more from him. The Mexican produced what team principal Christian Horner reckoned was his strongest race since the Chinese Grand Prix in April as he came home seventh having started down in 16th. But while his race pace was strong, Horner is well aware that Hungary marked the second consecutive F1 weekend where Perez had been knocked out of Q1 after a crash.
On the Monday after Spa, I will fly to England and discuss the procedure with Horner.' Perez himself acknowledged that the qualifying crash was not good enough, but he said the fact that he had been so strong in the race was encouraging. Reflecting on the Hungarian GP, he said: 'I think I just have to take the positives. We had a very strong Friday, we had a strong race in terms of pace - the pace is there, so that is a positive. 'The rest, I am sure it will take care of itself.
