Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has upped the pressure on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez ahead💫 of the final six races of the 2024 season, stating his team “can’t afford” to have a big gap in performance between the drivers.

Red Bull are on course tꦦo lose the F1 constructors’ championship to McLaren.

41 points separate the two teams, but given the respective performance trajectories, it’s unlikely McLaren will surrender their lead at the top of the 🐈standings.

While Red Bull’s lack of performance since the summer brꦫeak has been a major factor in that, Perez’s continued underperf💞ormance is a significant reason for their likely constructors’ title loss.

It’s something Red Bull will have to consider for 2025 given Ferrari will have a ‘super-team’ in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

McLaren will continue with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, while Mercedes have 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell alongside Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

The identity of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s teammate for next year is still uncꦗlear, even if Perez has a contract for 2025.

It’s believed that Red Bull are evaluating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson in the next six races to see whether he’s got the credent𝔍ials to drive for Red Bull next year.

Helmut Marko has previously outlined his preference to have a junior driv🀅er alongside Verstappen.

Speaking to Motorsport.com, Horner sa💛id of Red Bull’s driver line-up for next year: “We desperately need answers.

“When you look at our opponents,ജ Ferrari will be strong next year, with [Lewis] Hamilton an💟d Leclerc. Plus McLaren with Norris and Piastri is a strong line-up.

“We need to make sure that with both of our drivers,♕ that there's not a big gap between them becaus♕e you can't afford to have that.”

Perez's future was in doubt going into the summer break, with Red Bull cons❀idering replacing him with Daniel Ricciardo.

However, Red Bull fel𒊎t they had not done enough to back the✨ir current driver.
