Sergio Perez It does not stop being questioned in Red Bull. No matter his victory in Saudi Arabia, no matter his car problems in Australia. Above all Marko Helmut He is the person who criticizes him the most in his own team. That’s how it was since he joined the team.
In Australia, where the Mexican was left out of Q1 and “reported” the problems in his car, Marko said that “I had just been nervous” and that it had nothing to do with a mechanical problem.
Pérez rose to fifth place on Sunday and in statements after the race he denounced what had happened as “unacceptable”. His victory and second place in the world championship has caused a lot of tension in Red Bull, especially with max verstappen and his or her environment.
All these situations provoke the eternal debate about whether Pérez will last long in the energy drink team. In AlphaTauri, on the lips of Franz Tost, They have already found a substitute: the Japanese Yuki Tsunoda, now in the subsidiary ‘scuderia’.
“All I can say is that Yuki is on the right track and has improved in all aspects. But I think he should drive for AlphaTauri again in 2024,” Tost said.
And he sets a date for that promotion: “In 2025, I think he will finally be ready for Red Bull. Now Pérez has a contract and will have to wait.”
Tsunoda has already taken one point from the first three races of the season. His partner, the rookie Nyck deVries, He has not yet been able to score points and is in last place in the drivers’ standings.
