Sergio Perez must “take advantage” of Red Bull’s renewed faith oꦅr 💜risk his F1 future, Eddie Jordan claims.

Perez fin🦂ished a lowly eighth in the F꧃1 Belgian Grand Prix, the final race before the summer break, at a time when his future at Red Bull was debated.

But Christian Horner, the team principal, swiftly moved to clarify that Perez would not be removed from his car midseasonꦿ.

“The performance at Spa was poor,” Jordan t𒅌old his F🦄ormula For Success YouTube channel. “To start on the front row and end up where he ended up?

“Either his 𝕴car was set 🐼up for the wet, or the dry on the Saturday. It certainly wasn’t quick enough for him or the team on Sunday.

“In my opinion, this was a lacklus𒐪tre performance.

“This was justified by Helmut Marko who s𝓰aid various things which gave the imp♏ression of things that could happen within that team in the second half of the season.

“What’s important to Red Bull, more than anything, 🎃is to win the constructor𝔉s’.

“With MℱcLaren and Mercedes chopping away at their lead, they need 🅺to be really careful.

“Well done Checo for ge𝓀tting it over the line. But I would urge you: if you don’t take advantag✤e of this support that they’ve given you, I fear for your future contract.

“In the meantime, we’re all behind you.”

Perez entered 2024 under intense scrutiny, with Daniel Ricciardo among the🌟 drivers breathing down his neck.

But he performed admirably at the start of the seaso✨n, reaching multiple podiums while teammate Max Verstappen won races.

Red Bull rewarded Perez with a new contract - but his f💛orm then nosedive📖d.

However, wi�✨�th RB driver Ricciardo also out of form, Red Bull have opted against making an in-season driver swap.

Liam Lawson, theꦅ Red Bull junior, was also available but has been ignored.

Perez will still be behind t🍬he wheel of the Red Bull when the F1 seaꦇson resumes.
