Red Bull backed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez after a drab F1 Spanish Grand Prix but are despe𓃲rate to get him back into form.

Perez qualified eighth and finished the race in the same position, as teammate Max Verst♓appen won again.

It means Perez - who has recently been rewarded with a new contract which should have ended doubt about his future - remains without a podium finish for a fifth grand prix in a ro🧜w.

“We put him on a three-stop,” team principal Christian Horne🉐r꧅ told Sky Sports. “It worked out.

“He passed Pierre Gasly on the last lap. He will have taken confi🅘dence from that race.

ꦜ“Theoretically we said eighth was the best that he could do today. He achieved that.

“He will have tꦚaken a bit out of this weekend but we need to get him more into the 𓃲mix.”

Perez reacted: “💞I think the main pro𒁏blem was the starting position.

“I overtook Fernando but got overtaken by Nico.

“It was ꦿa really, really difficult first stint whi🔯ch compromised the race.

“It was difficult to follow in the dirty air.”

Perez has fallen behind the in-form McL🐲arens and Ferraris, and even the resurgent Mercedes drivers🌠.

Questioned abou🐓t Red Bull’s increasing comp🅷etition, he said: “They are back. Really strong.

“We must deliver perfect weekends for the team.

“McLaren look, at the moment, like the strongest 🌞team.

“We must make sure we come back, ꧙at different trac✱ks, to be more competitive.”

Perez knows what he wants from inside the garage to get back into the form he displꦯayed at the start of the season, which prompted Red Bull to hand him a new contract.

“There are upgrades in the pipeline,” he said🌄. “The same as everyone.

“Bu♛t I think most important is♌ to maximise the balance, more than any upgrade.

“It has be🥃en really difficult on my side, at the moment.”

Perez is fifth in the F1 standings aꦦfter 10 rounds, behind Verstappen, Norris then both Ferrari drivers.
