Christian Horner has declared that the Red Bull seat for 2025 is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s “to 💝lose” following a strong weekend at the Japanese Grandᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Prix.

Perez qualified within a tenth of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at Suzuka on Sat🐷urday before helping Red Bull secure their third 1-2 finish of the se♕ason.

The Mexican’sꦓ performance was particularly impressive because as he endured one of his worst weekends as aཧ Red Bull driver in Japan last year.

Perez's future 𒉰is still uncertain with Red Bull ꦛundecided on who will partner Verstappen for next year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso have been rumoured, however, Perez’s impresꦛsive form will surely make him the fav🍌ourite to secure another year with the team.

Speaking on Sunday after the race, Horner says Perez has “started the ꦛseason in the bℱest possible way”.

“I think his confidence is high, he’s very focused on the job at hand, anᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd he’s comfor🍬table in the team,” Horner said.

“And he knows he’s out of contraꦇct for next year, it’s his seat to lose, he’s very popular in the team, and he’s started the season in tཧhe best possible way.”

Whi꧃le Perez finished over 12 seconds behind his teammate, it was a relatively smooth race for him.

The high tyre degradation at Suzuka meant that the undercut was powerful meaning Perez lost out on track position to the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris through the pit stop phase.

Perez then carved his way back through, pullin🅺g off some da꧙ring overtakes into the high-speed left-hander of 130R.

Hor🦂ner admitted he had to close his eyes when Perez was attempting these ballsy overtakes.

“I thought Checo in particular has had a strong weeke🍌nd,” Horner added. “To qualify within a tenth of his teammat🤡e here.

“Race pace was strong obvio🙈usly, he had the disadvantage of having to come back through the traffic.

“There were a couple of mo❀ments where😼, I must admit, I had my eyes shut as he went into 130R… do you need to do it there? Can’t you wait until the straight?

“He didn’t look like he had three kids🦩 when he made that move!”
