Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed he held talks with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez to discuss the Mexican’s worrying recent F1 form at his home.

Perez has end✤ured a woeful ♊run of results of late and has not finished higher than seventh across the past six races, and struggled to a lowly 17th at the British Grand Prix two weeks ago.

Horner recently admitted that Perez’s lack of points is “unsustainable” amid growing specul🍬ation his position at the team could be at risk, despite hꦇis new deal.

It has been reported that if Perez remains more than 100 points behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the summer brea꧑k, a performance-related clause would𓄧 activate which would enable Red Bull to make a driver change.

Asked if he has spoken to Perez about his current form, Horner told Sky Sports: “Yes.𒊎 We have a really open relationship.

“I sat down with him in the kitchen at my house and said ‘Come on, what’s going on?’. ‘Is there something else?’ He w꧃as like ‘No, I am just overthinking things a bit too much’.

“I think almost ignoring what is happening on the 🐼other side of the garage will do him a favour which is the approach he’s taking now. Just focusing on hi꧋s own performance.”

Horner 🧸explained Red Bull’s decision to trigger a💧n early contract renewal was an attempt to try and “settle” Perez.

“We all want Checo to realise🍎 the potential he did in ꩲthe first four, five races. We know he’s capable of that,” he said.

“That’s why we took up the option early on him for next year to tr♑y and settle him. He’s been in a bit of a head spin the last few races. Hopef💝ully, today were the signs that he’s coming out of that.

“The team are working ღvery hard with him to sup💝port him and to make sure he does re-find his form. We desperately need it.” 

Red Bull have fast-ꦡtracked their most signifiant upgrade package of the season for this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

“I think t🐲he car’s working quite well and when the car works well you sಞee that gap diminish between the two of them,” Horner said.

“Hopefully he [Perez] will take quite a bi♌t of confidence out of that. The car has been, while it’s been performing, has been a bit of a knife edge.

“We’ve seen Max cope with that a little better than Checo certainly has. Hopefully with the steps we’ve made here we’ve got the car in quite a n🌟ice window.”
