Christian Horner admits that under-fire 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez has “pressure to deliver”.

Red Bull’s second driver arrived at thi🃏s weekend’s F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone knowing that, despite his brand-new contract, his future at the team is ꦆbeing debated again.

Per🌠ez has scored just 11 points in the past four grands prix, sparking questions about whether Red Bull gave him a new contract too prematurely.

Team principal Horner was asked🍌 if he wishes Red Bu🤪ll had not signed Perez up already.

“That’s a br🔜utally hard question,” h𝔍e responded to Sky Sports.

“Of course, at the point you sign a driver the contents of any agreement are not going ൲to be disclosed with the likes of you lot.

“It made absolute sense to signꦦ Sergio at that point i𝕴n time.

“This is a business 🌞where there’s pressure to deliver.”

He continued: “Sergio’s had a tough spell and⛦ his first five races were very competitive. It’s the lastಞ five have been nowhere.

“We w🔯ant to see the Sergio from the first five back. He knows that. He’s aware of that.

“He’s been working hard on that. He’s been i🐭n the sim this week. He’s working hard to understand where it’s not just playing out for him.

“What we’ve constantly seen with him is th꧒at resilience to bounce back. We’re hoping to see tha🍨t very soon.”

Perez’s dip in form is reminiscent of last yea༒r when he went through a barren spell which threatened his st🍸atus as Max Verstappen’s teammate.

“Well, that’s why we thought the contꦉract would help,” Horner admitted.

“I think it’s something Checo is ꧙working very hard on. He knows.

“T🌊his is a sport where there’s no hiding. Particularly with Max Verstappen as your teammate, he knows he’s been measured against the very best.

“We need him up there supporting Max because there’s two McLarens, two Ferraris, two Mercedꦫes, we desperately need th⭕ere to be two Red Bulls.”

Three times in the first four rounds of this season, Perez finis💦hed P2 behind Verstappen to deliver the dre🧸am result for Red Bull.

Coupꦉled with a bad start by🦂 prospective replacement Daniel Ricciardo, Perez was able to unexpectedly strengthen his position in F1’s dominant car.

But he failed to finish in Canada and Monaco, t꧒hen finished P8 and P7 in Spain and Austria respectively.

Although he iꦕs somewhat protected by the contract he signed when things were going smoothly, Perez will know it cannot saveꦜ him if his form does not turn around soon.
