Verstappen has capitalised on Perez’s recent struggles to claim four consecutive victories and open up a 69-point advantage at the top of the F1 drivers’ championship.&ꦰnbsp;

Writing in his latest Sky F1 column following the Canadian Grand Prix, Brundle suggested that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton are the only two drivers capable of fighting Verstappen.&nb🃏sp;

However, he doesn’t think Red Bull would consider ♋;replacing&nဣbsp;Perez any time soon. 

“Perez impressively won two of the first four races this season, importantly with Verstappenꦐ second to him each time, but it has all fallen apart since Max came from ninth on the grid in Miami to comfortably beat pole-sitting Sergio,” Brundle wrote.

“Perez will need all his maturity and experience💮, along with team and family support, to turn his head around and star🐽t delivering his speed and potential. 

“I suspect only Alonso and Hamilton would have t💝he head to cope with Verstappen at this moment and I doubt Red Bull would want that volatility in their team.” 

Brundle added: “The team's💫 perfect scenario would be Sergio to finish ♛a close second to Max every race, and win when Max can’t.

“The trouble is that, as Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon found out, fine young drivers get b👍uried alongside the Dutchman's speed. 

“At the same time, Red Bull can't have Perez off form when Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Mꦅartin inevitably home in on them. That's why they'll support him all the way.”
