Christian Horner has hit back at critics with “1% of the facts” who have put 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s race engineer under fire.

The Red Bull boss was made ♒aware of criticism in Perez’s home country of Mexico, where this weekend’s grand prix takes place, for Hugh﷽ Bird.

Bird has been the voice in Perez’s ear during 😼races since the driver joined Red Bull in 2021 but is seemingly the focus of critics in Mexico.

“Look, I mean, when you put your💧self out there as a race engineer and you're the voice speaking to the driver, in today's world of digital media, everybody has an opinion,” Horner responded.

“Everybody has their own view on things.

“Now, I think Hugh do♒✅es a super job. He's a really bright guy.

💎“He's grown up in the team. He's out there giving his best for his driver, for his team.

“And I think it's very harsh for people to judge and criticise from the ou♏tside when they have about 1% of the facts✃ of what he's actually dealing with.

“The great thing about open༒ing up everything in Formula 1 is the access that we now give.

“The downside is the amꩵount of ꦏarmchair specialists and experts that we get that it opens up to.

“Hugh Bird is a very talented engineer and an important part of our team,🍌 and I think any criti🧸cism of him is unfair.”

Scrutiny over Perez will only heighte🥂n after his terrible qualifying for his home race at the F1 Mexico City Grand Pri🦄x.

Having admitted hi🌌s season so far was “t༺errible”, Perez qualified in 18th.

''Unfortunately, the hoped-ꦰfor upswi♋ng has not happened,” Helmut Marko ominously told Sky Germany.

RB duo Liam Lawson and🃏 Yuki Tsunoda are waiting in the wings if Red Bull lose faith in Perez.
