'He needs to make Max Verstappen doubt him and change Red Bull’s mind about him.' Perez F1 RedBull Formula1
Former driver warns Sergio Perez against ‘pointless and counterproductive’ claimsSergio Perez needs to calm down with his claims he can beat Max Verstappen to the World title with Alain Prost calling it an “almost impossible mission”.
Perez went into this season dreaming of a title tilt and while it did look to be on the cards after Azerbaijan, the Mexican driver just six points behind Verstappen in the standings with each of the Red Bull drivers having taken two wins, the pressure is, as Christian Horner put it, now off. Perez has seemingly been consigned to the team’s number two role after dropping more than 50 points behind Verstappen in the last three races.
Speaking after the Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull team boss Horner conceded it was “very tough” for Perez to take on Verstappen, adding to Sky F1: “I think now there is that separation in the points, that may actually take the pressure off him a little and the expectation he’s putting on himself.He also, says Prost, needs to keep his thoughts to himself if he wants any chance of rallying the team behind him.
“A driver’s game is always to try and tip the balance in his favour, whether it’s the set-up of the car or the contribution of the team. And that’s where Perez is wrong,” the four-time World Champion told“As we know, Perez is tackling an almost impossible mission. And in order to achieve it, he must above all not shout so loudly about his desire to beat Max.”
