Red 🐷Bull have hinted that giving Sergio Perez a♋n easier car to drive is the secret to his rejuvenation.

Perez was given a huge boost during the F1 summer break w🅺hen Red Bull clarified their intention to stick by him, despite mo🧸unting pressure to make a midseason driver change.

Perez’s form has been terrible since signing a new contract in the e𒉰arly part of the year, but he h♎as clung onto his status as Max Verstappen’s teammate.

"We believe that we can turn it round and make it 💞more stable for him," Red Bull’s H🍷elmut Marko said to .

🎶"To be teammate to Max is not the nicest thing in Formula One. Checo has his merits, he's won races.

"Our discussion was not just about drivers, it was regu꧅lar discussions we had of what can we do to improve the situation?

“We have to try to make th🎃e car more 𒉰easy to drive.

"The more difficult the car is to drive, the more the difference to Max comes out because he's such an o🦋utstanding talent.

“If the rear steps out he won't lift the throttle, he's just, 'yeah, it's a littl𒈔e bit nervous,' Checo says 'it's difficult' or 'it’s undriveable.'

"So to be next to Max is a different story. So we said le🌜t's try to make the car more easy to drive, get more balance, which is also something Max wants, and th🌳e best thing is to keep going with Checo and hope that he…

“The main problem was this up and down.

"He had some very good results, very good performances, then the next day he was half a second off Max ജor so."

Daniel Ricciardo a⛦nd Liam Lawson were the obvious contenders ignored as possible Perez replacemeꦰnts.

Marko had previously claimed Perez “completely collapse🌸d” at the F1 Belꩲgian Grand Prix after starting on the front row but finishing eighth.

Th♚at result might have marked his final F1 race for the team, but they have demonstrated patience.

Perez will be behind the wheel of🐭 the Red Bull when F1 resumes at Zandvoort hoping for a return to his ea✃rly-season form, which included four podiums in the first five races.
