Helmut Marko has dismissed suggestions F1 owners Liberty Media intervened to ensure 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez would remain 🅘at Red Bull and thus be driv𒀰ing at his home race in Mexico.

Last Monday, Red Bull’s hiౠerarchy met following the Belgian Grand Prix to discuss Perez’s future.

Perez’s poor form, scoring ju🍸st 28 points in the๊ last eight races, has left Red Bull vulnerable in the constructors’ championship to McLaren.

As a result, Red Bull were seriously considering replacing Perez with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.

However, Christian Horner confirmed Perez will remain in the car as he looks to bounce back at tra🦩cks he’s traditionally performed well on (Azerbaijan, Singapore).

Shortly after the news, claimed Liberty Media aꦚsked Red Bull to reconsider Perez’s dismissal.

They were conc✨erned Perez’s removal from the grid would have a significant financial impact on the race in Mexico.

.

“Reports that his continued involvement is due to Liberty Media’s wi🌞sh for him to drive in Mexico are not true,” he wrote.

“[Liberty] certainly want him to contest 🃏his home race, but our choice of driver is not based on Liberty’s intentꦕions.”

Red Bull appear to be fully supp💛orting Perez, with Marko “banking on stability”.

Red Bull’s lead at the top of the standings is just 42 points over McLaren, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen hasn’t won any of the last three races.

“Sergio Perez will also be in the Red Bull Racing car after the summer break because we♑ now have races on the tracks where he was good last year and we are banking on stability,” he added.

“He has repeatedly shown good performances in between, and he was also very fast in third p♔lace on Saturday aꦬt the last race weekend in Spa.

“Perez doesn’t have to become faster, but morꦏe consistent and, given the alternatives, he is still our best solution.”
