Ex-F1 driver Johnny Herbert has suggested that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez needs to “put himself into a cocoon” to reduce the pressure of being 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull.

I💞t’s a big season for Perez, whose Red Bull contrꦡact runs out at the end of 2024.

Perez is under immense pressure to retain his drive, particularly as his form in F1 2023 was generally poor.

Despite winning🤪 two of the opening four rounds, Perez’s performances tailed off, which was in stark contrast to Verstappen, who went on a 10-race winning streak.

Some have suggested that Perez’s inability to get close to Verstappen is because Red Bu🦩ll is centred around the Dutchman, leading to suggestions of favouritism.

During his own F1 career, Herbert spent one season as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s teammate in 1995.

In similar fashion to Verstappen, as the lead driver, the team was centr🐎ed around Schumac🅷her, ensuring he was the one who delivered title success.

“Sergio has got to putꦚ himself into a cocoon and deliver every single time with the battering that comes from the media and from within the team on occasion.”
