Sergio Perez shrugs off Daniel Ricciardo threat: “Nonsense” to be thinking about 2025
Ricciardo’s sensational return to F1 was announced last week, replacing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries at Alpha Tauri.
It marks the ༒Australian’ꦬs return to the same team he raced for in 2012 and 2013 before moving up to Red Bull in place of Mark Webber for the following year.
Ricciardo has made it clear he’s eyeing up Perez’s sea𝓡t in the coming years provided he delivers with 🐷AlphaTauri.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, Perez confirmed he 𝔉had no involvement in Ricciardo’s return with AlphaTauri.
“No, I’m not a guy... I’ve been in F1 for 13 years so I𝔍’m not a guy who thinks so much further ahead. I’ve been with the engineers, I don’t even have the time to discuss what’s going on with Daniel,” he said.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for him, and that’s it. I’m focusing on Hungary and then Belgium and no🌃t really thinking about 2025, you know? It’s such a far world ahead, it’s nonsense to think that far awa🧜y.”
After a strong start to F1 2023, winning two of the opening four rounds, Per👍ez’s form has rapidly deteriorated.
The Mexican has failed to make Q3 in the last five races, while he’s f♐inished on th♌e podium just once in this period.
“It’s in my hands, correct,” he added. “That’s why I’m focused.I’m a winnꦯer, I don’t like having bad weekend⛄s, it’s not what I’m here for. I’d rather be at home doing something else.
“I’m here because I know that I can do it and I’ve done 🗹it before. People on the sofa forget how much in the little bit we are. You’ve seen it with other drivers, other team🅷s, they’ve had difficult periods.
“But then they don't h♚ave 20 replacements after each🌃 session like they do with the Red Bull drivers.”
