Red Bull backed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez after a drab F1 Spanish Grand Prix but are♒ desperate to get him back into form.

Perez qualified eighth and finished the race in the s🌠ame position, as teammate Max Verstappen won again.

It means Per🐷ez - who has recently been rewarded with a new contract which should have ended doubt about his future - remains without a podium finish for a fifth grand prix in a row.

“We put him on a three-stop,” team principal Christian Horner told Sky ♊Sports. “It worked out𓄧.

“He passed Pierre Gasly on the last lap. He will hꦏave taken confidence from that race.

“Theoretically we said eighth was the best 𝔍that he ꦦcould do today. He achieved that.

“He will have༒ taken a bit out of this weekend but we need to get him more into the mix.”

Pere﷽z reacted: “I think the main problem was the starting position.

“I overtook Fernando but got overtaken by Nico.

“It was a really, really difficult first stint ꦫwhich compromised the race.

“It was difficult to follow in the dirty air.”

Perez has fallen behind the in-form McLarens and Ferraris, and𝐆 even the resurgent Merc🍎edes drivers.

Questioned about Red🃏 Bull’s increasing competition, he said: “They are back. Really strong.

“We must deliver perfect weekends for the team.

“McLaren look, at the moment, like the ꦰstrongest team.

“We must make sure we come back, at different tracks, to be more competitiv🅰e.”

Perez knows what he wants from inside the garage to get back into the form he displayed at the start of the season, which prompted Red Bull ♏to hand him a new contract.

“There are upgrades in the pipeline,” he said. “✨The same as everyone.

“But I think most important is to maximise the balance, more than a𒐪ny upgrade.

“💮It has ♏been really difficult on my side, at the moment.”

Pere📖z is fifth in the F1 standings after 10 rounds, behind Verst♏appen, Norris then both Ferrari drivers.
