Red Bull | Horner praises Perez's first half of the season
“We know what he is capable of, we need to get him back to that level of performance,” the Englishman said
La Red Bull she was the absolute dominator of 2023. With MaxVerstappen, the Milton Keynes team literally drew a blank, and only at the end of the season, with the World Cup already awarded, did we have a semblance of a battle, but nothing transcendental. The discordant note of the Austrians' championship certainly concerns Sergio Perez, second in the standings because with a car like that you honestly can't do anything different, but the difficulties the Mexican had were evident. Yet, in the first part of the season, Czech he had some excellent performances, see the victories of Jeddah e Baku, which, however, he was unable to follow up on, outclassed by his strongest teammate and now three-time world champion.
“We will deal with Perez's future at the appropriate time – said Christian Horner, Red Bull team principal. Looking at Checo's performances in the first part of the season, we see how he was on par with Max in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia: they pushed very hard in Jeddah and the margins were very narrow indeed. In Baku he won both the Sprint and the Sunday race, so we know what he is capable of, we need to get him back into that mental state to get the most out of him and get back to those levels in terms of performance."
