F1 steward Derek Warwick believes Red Bull’s second driver problem shows it was a mistake in axing Sergio Perez𒅌.

Perez was dr꧂opped🍌 by Red Bull at the end of the 2024 F1 season following a difficult campaign.

However, with Lawson languishing well behind168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen, Red Bul♊l decided to replace the Kiwi after just two race💯s.

While Yuki Tsunoda has proven to be an upgrade on L🦋awson, he’s struggled to adapt to the RB21.

Tsunoda’s best grand prix finish since joining Red Bull is ninth in Bahrain, while Ve🌞rstappen has won two races since the Japanese driver’s promotion.

Speaking to , Warwic🔯k explained why Lawson and Tsunoda’s poor performances show that Perez was doing a better job “than we gave him credit for”.

“I thinಞk Red Bull needs to try and find a way of making that second car fast, because quite clearly driving the same car as Max does not work,” Warwick said.

“They put every driver through there. We aℱᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚll know that Yuki’s quick, he’s had a disaster. 

“It almost shows that Perez was doing a better job than we gave him credit for. I think they need to say,ꦓ I think they need to come out now and say, Yuki’s in it for the season.

“You don’t keep on saying we’re looking at other drivers and al🌺l that sort of stuff, because all that does is put pressuℱre on their driver.

“And instead of driving with soft hands and a soft steering wheel, he ends up trying too hard, braking too late. I think they need to give that s🌄econd driver, whoever it is, confidence that he’s in for the season.

“No question, I don’t care if he🍃 crashes every race, I don’t care if he’s lost every race, he’s in for the season.

“Was it a ꧅mistake letting P𒆙erez go? It looks like it.”

Will 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez return to the grid in 2026?

Perez has reportedly not given up on his F1 career despite sp♊ending this season on the sidelines.

The 35-year-old has been heavily🎐 linked with a return to the grid with Cadilla🐻c in 2026.

Cadillac will become F1’s 11th team next year - but the American outfit have yet to announce which drivers will drive📖 their first car.

Perez is th🦩ought to be the favourite for one of the seats.

His wealth of experience and significant financial backing make🔥 him an attractiv𝓡e option.

Perez’s reputation has only improved since his exit from F1, particularly given ꦕRed Bull’s second driver troubles.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher have also been linked.
