‘Checo’ Pérez begins to run out of credit. After four consecutive qualifications staying out of Q3not even Red Bull hides its anger anymore.
After the ‘qualy’ of the Austrian Grand Prix, Christian Hornerteam leader of the Milton Keynes team, spoke to the media and was asked about the role of the Mexican pilot.
Perez’s role was so disappointing that his boss didn’t even try to hide his anger. “He had the pace, he had a car easily capable of being on the front or second row… Stay within the white lines!“, Horner said in statements to ‘Sky Sports F1’.
“It happened on try 1, on try 2… We told him: ‘Czech, stay within the lines’ On try 3, same thing. I am very frustrated because he could have been on the front line,” Horner concluded.
‘Checo’ Pérez has the opportunity to redeem himself after this bad Friday both in the sprint race on Saturday and in the main race on Sunday. However, after Christian Horner’s statements, not even a good performance at the Red Bull Ring would be able to put an end to doubts about the Mexican’s future.
