Theꦡ Red Bull motorsport 🐭consultant blamed the Mexican’s inconsistent form this season on Perez’s ethnicity in an interview following the Italian Grand Prix. 

Marko told the Red Bull-owned Servus TV: "We know that he has problems in qualifying▨, he has fluctuations in form. "He is South American and he is just not as completely focused in his head as Max [Verstappen] is or as Sebastian [Vettel].”

In response to heavy criticism, Marko issued a public apology in a sta﷽tement. 

Speaking on Thursday ahead of this w🎃eekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, Perez said he accepted the apology and did not find the commeꦗnts offence. 

Asked why Red Bull had not issued a statement c꧙ondemning Marko’s remarks, Horner told Sky F1: 𝕴“Well firstly, those comments, they weren't right.

“I think Helmut quickly recognised that and apologised for that b🍸oth publicly and directly to Sergio and he spoke dire✃ctly to Sergio about it. 

“I think you're alཧways learning in life, even at 80 years of age, and🙈 I think inevitably lessons have been learned. 

“Checo is a massively popular member of our team, is an important member of o♓ur team. I pushed very hard to sign him back in for the 2021 season. 

“We have 🅠a h♔uge following around around the world and we take that very, very seriously and very responsibly.

“I think that the fan following, not tღhat just Checo has, but what the team has and, and Formula 1 has, we're very conscious of. This is his 250th race and we want to focus on that.

“From Helmut’s perspective, he's apologised. He's not 🍌an employee of Red Bull Racing. 

“So in terms of why didn't we p൩ut out a statement, he’s part of the Red Bull wider group, and the group obviously issued tha🦋t apology through through the Servus TV channel.” 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton waded into the controversy by saying that Marko’s apology for his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“completely unacceptable” comments was not enough a🦩nd called on Red Bull and F1 to take more action.&n♓bsp;

“Helmut is technically an employee directly, or a consultant to the group,” Horner said when Hamilton’s view was put to him. “So it's not really a question for me to answer.&𝓀nbsp;

“We've obviously spoken about it. I know he regrets what he what he said a꧋nd he's apologised. And as I say, even at 80 years of a𝓀ge, it's still not too late to learn.”

Hor♈ner confirmed that Red Bull have communicated with both F🦩1 and the FIA over the matter. 

“T💙here is a code of conduct and a code of ethics and the sporting code and so that already exists,” he explained. 

“Of course we've communicated with FIA and FOM throughout the ꦗlast week, as you can imagine, and and that is very much a matter for them. Oꦡbviously, not for the team.”
