Liam Lawson Red Bull F1 2024 car test sparks Sergio Perez replacement rumours
L⛎iam Lawson isꦏ rumoured to be in the frame to replace Sergio Perez, after the emergence of a Red Bull test.
The reported emergence of a test run in Red Bull’s current F1 car for Liam Lawson has sparked rumours about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s future, writes Lewis Larkam at Silverstone.
Red Bull reserve Lawson, who made his F1 debut as a stand-in for the injured 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo at RB last year, is scheduled to drive Red Bull’s 2024 car, the RB20, for a filming day at ൩Silverstone on Thursday, according to ✱.
Despite being handed a new two-year deal by R🅠ed Bull in June, Perez has foun🐻d himself coming under increasing pressure amid a continued run of poor form.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has won seven of 11 races so f🐼ar this year while Perez is yet to claim a 🍬victory and has not featured on the podium since the Chinese Grand Prix in April.
Perez has not finished higher than seventh in his last five races and suffered a string🐠 of disappointing qualifying performances. His latest poor display came at Silverstone on Saturday as he dropped out of Q1 in 19th after beaching his Red Bull in the gravel early in the session.
ജThe torrid run has left Perez fifth in the cham𒈔pionship with 118 points compared to Verstappen’s 237. Red Bull currently top the constructors’ standings, holding a 64-point lead over second-placed Ferrari.
“He knows he's being measured against the very best and we need him up there supporting Max because there's two McLarens♏ now, there's two Ferraris, and there's two . We need there to be desperately two Red Bulls.”
Perez’s form𓆏 has fuelled speculation that Ricciardo could be called up to replace Perez either this season or next, but Motorsport report this is “wide ofౠ the mark” with the Australian underwhelming since making a full-time return to the F1 grid.
But Lawson’s planned filming day outing has now🌠 prompted fresh rumours that the Kiwi could be a contender to become Verstappen’s next teammate.
12 months ago, Ricciardo did enough during a Pirelli tyre test at Silverstone to convince Red Bull to replace Nyck de Vries at their si♍ster team after only ꦗ10 races.
