Red Bull F1 denies rumors of Liberty Media influencing decision to keep Sergio Perez.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has made a clear statement refuting claims that Liberty Media forced the team to keep driver Sergio Perez.Recently, rumors suggested that F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and the Liberty Media organization had pressured the team to keep the Mexican driver to maintain ticket sales for the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix, considering his strong popularity in his home country.
Marko pointed out specific issues during the Spa race, noting:'He was allowed to start from position two, and according to the calculations, third place would have been possible. But we saw that his tires had deteriorated significantly more.'He couldn't push, and on top of that, we only had two sets of medium tyres and one set of the hard compound, while the competition had two sets of hard and one set of medium tyres. That was perhaps a decisive point.
