The energy drink team is the leader in the constructors’ world championship
This new Formula 1 World Cup campaign is being a great success for Red Bull thanks to a max verstappen that continues to walk through the circuits of F1. The most recent was at the Spanish Grand Prix, on the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit, the mythical Montmeló.
Despite this, Max Verstappen’s partner, Checo Pérez, is sowing many doubts, which are already flying over the Red Bull box. The Mexican started off on the right foot, sharing the podium with the Dutchman, even in two Grand Prix he was able to snatch the first position from Verstappen to end up winning the race.
Since the Monaco Grand Prix, the Mexican driver seems to have disconnected
However, for some time now, Checo has been disappointing with his performance, and the Austrian brand is considering leaving him without a seat. Just as Verstappen continues to subdue his rivals, without giving them a single breath, Pérez has been making a series of mistakes unfit for a Red Bull driver.
In Barcelona, he stayed out of Q3starting from an eleventh position in the race that forced him to come back, to situate himself in fourth position, which left him without a podium, a fact that the team did not like at all, who do not want to stop stepping on the highest drawers.
The possible arrival of Ricciardo at Red Bull puts Max Verstappen with a lot of worries
Even Helmut Marko, a Red Bull adviser, has already given him the first touch of attention: “With Sergio things have not gone well since Monte Carlo. He needs to focus more on the races, not the title. During the whole weekend he was already between three and five tenths slower than Verstappen ”, he assured.
Daniel Ricciardo is chosen by those of the energy drink to replace a disappointing Checo Pérez. The Australian was left without a seat for this season, but after the delicate situation of Max’s partner, he sees in Red Bull an opportunity to get back to Formula 1.
