Sergio Pérez had another extremely poor weekend. The Red Bull driver struggled to even get a position on the starting grid, and the ensuing fight was even more disastrous. The climax came when he collided with Liam Lawson and destroyed his car. This didn't go unnoticed by the Red Bull Racing team boss.
“Formula 1 is a results-based business. If someone doesn't perform here, they're warned first, then fired. We work as a team, we fight as a team, and for that we need both cars, both drivers. That's the nature of Formula 1. We've always given Pérez everything and always supported him, and that will also be the case next weekend in Brazil. But the time will soon come when we will have to reconsider how to proceed and make a painful decision.”
"We're now third in the constructors' championship and we want to get back in the running for the win. There are four races left, and it won't be an easy task," Horner said emphatically about Pérez.
