Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has upped the pressure on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez ahead of the final six races of the ܫ2024 season, stating his team “can’t afford” to have a big gap in pe🦄rformance between the drivers.

Red Bull are on course to lose the F1 constructors’ c🎐hampionship to McLaren.

41 points separate the two teams, but g❀iven the respective performance trajectories, it’s unlikely McLaren will surrender their lead at the top of the stan🎐dings.

While Red Bull’s lack of performance since ꧃the summer break has been a major factor in that, Perez’s continued underperformance is a significant reason for their liꦺkely constructors’ title loss.

It’s something Red Bull will have to consider for 2025 given Ferrari will have a ‘super-team’ in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

McLaren will continue with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, while Mercedes have 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell alongside Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

The identity of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s teammate for next year is still unclear, even ifও Perez has a contract for 2025.

It’s believed that Red Bull are evaluating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson in the nex♉t six races to see whether he’s got the credentials to drive for Red Bull next year.

Helmut Marko has previously outlined his preference to have a junior driver alongside Verstappen🍌.

Speaking to Motorsport.com, Hor🌞ner said of Red Bull’s driver line-up f♔or next year: “We desperately need answers.

“When you l🌞ook at our opponents, Ferrari will be strong next year, with [Lewis] Hamilton and Leclerc. Plus McLaren with Norris and Piastri is a strongಞ line-up.

“We need to m☂ake sure that with both of our drivers, that there's not a big gap between them because you can't afford to have that.”

Perez's future was in doubt going into the summ▨er break, with Red Bull considering replacing him with🗹 Daniel Ricciardo.

Hoౠwever, Red Bull felt they had not done 🐟enough to back their current driver.
