Helmut Marko suggests theory for Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form
Helmut Marko has made a suggestion for what might have inspired Sergio Perez𒁏's improved F1 form.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has suggested that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s improved F1 form is because he is fighting to sec𒅌ure a new contract.
Qualifying 𒁃proved to be Perez’s main weakness last season as his position at Red Bull came under increasing pressure but the Mexican has stepped up his performan⛎ces in 2024.
Perez ran teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen close in the battle for pole position at the Japan𒅌ese Grand Prix, missing out by just 0.066 seconds as Red Bull locked out the front row.
And Marko hinted that Perez’s improv𒈔ed form could be because “next year’s contracts are at stake”.
“Last year [in Japan] in particular was Sergio's worst race. Everything went wrong then, so I think it's particularly sati💯sfying for him,” Marko told Sky Germany.
"You can see he can do it. But perhaps it also plays a role th🔥at next year's contracts are at stake - this year much earlier than usual. That also seems to be very motivating.
"No📖rmally൩ we don't talk about driver decisions at all in April. But somehow, the whole thing seems to have moved forward a lot. But it's still too early for us. We will certainly wait some time before we make a decision.”
After qualifying, Perez explained that his conꦜfidence is ಞreturning because he is making fewer changes to his car.
“Like Carlos [Sainz Jnr] would say, we stopped inventiꦏng,” he said.
“We were playing around with the car far too much and just going through i𒐪t and I think now we have a much better bas🌱e,” he explained. “We are a lot happier and the weekends just progress.”
He added: “When we came here last year we were at the stage of our season ൩where anything was working. When you are in that, you just go around circles and circles.
“Then we found out in the end, towards the end of th🦂e year, that it was better [to] just step back and don’t try to chase it too much with the set-up because then you start compromising other things.
“I think that’s been the case for this year. So I’m a lot more comfo🌊rtable, a lot more happier and the confidence is slowly c🧜oming back.”
