There were many rumors that placedCheco Perez on the tightrope. His results in Monaco and Barcelona called into question whether or not the Mexican pilot deserved a seat inRed Bull.
In fact, Helmud Markoadviser to the team and known within Formula 1 for not biting his tongue, He had already given the occasional wake-up call to the Guadalajara runner.
However, it has been his own marko the one who, in an interview for ‘F1 Insider’, has ensured the continuity of Checo Pérez in the Austrian team: “Everything is nonsense. Sergio Pérez’s place has never been in danger and will never be in danger.”
In addition, Marko pointed out the importance of ‘Checo’ in the team: “It is an important element to achieve the goals we have set for this year.… We want to finish first and second in the drivers’ championship and become the Constructors’ World Champion as soon as possible.”
It is very likely that these statements have calmed the nerves of a ‘Czech’ who has two complicated grand prizes. The Mexican signed a very discreet weekend in Monaco, staying out of pointsand a rather mediocre one in Barcelona staying out in Q2, fact that could solve in the race where he rallied to fourth place.
Until now Red Bull’s automotive superiority is a fact in Formula 1 and like it or not, the one who is closest to competing with Verstappen is none other than Sergio Pérez.
