168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez will have a new race engineer for the next four F1 races, starting atꦓ t💫his weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, has learned.

That is because Perez’s currenꦺt race engin🙈eer, Hugh Bird, will go on paternity leave.

♍Red Bull performance engineer Richard Wood will temporarily deputise in Bird’s absence across the next four eve𝕴nts, with Richard Cooke stepping up into Wood’s role.

understands ꦐthat Bird will be in attendance at Zandvoort to help oversee the transition, before his period of paternity leav🌞e begins.

Bird, who has worked with Perez since the Mexican’s arrival at Red Bull in 2021, isꦯ set to return to his 🥀role at the United States Grand Prix in late October.

Speaking about the switch in Red Bull's pre-race preview, Perez♒ said: “Hugh my Race Engineer is expecting a baby very soon so will be spending some time at home and I wish him and his family the best of luck with their new arrival!

"Woody, my Performance Engineer, will step up🌳 in the meantime.

"I know what we can extract from the car in th🃏e coming weeks and we will do our best to maximise the second half of 2024."

Th💫e change does not come at an ideal time for Perez, whose seat remains vulnerable despite Red Bull’s insistence after the Belgian Grand Prix that he will see out the remainder of the campaign.

Red Bull bosses met on Monday after the race at Spa-Francorchamps to discuss Perez’s future after a string of disappointing performances had led to in🧔tense speculation about his position.

Team principal Christian Horner told employees at Red Bull’s Milton Keynes base that Pereꦆz would stay on into the s💎econd half of the season.

Perez has not finished higher than seventh since the Miami Grand൩ Prix in May and has only managed to score 28 points in the past seven races.

He has subsequently slipped to seventh in the championship - a whopping 146 points behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Perez’s poor form has 💧caused a headache for Red Bull, who have come under increasing pressure in the constructors’ champion💛ship with McLaren only 42 points behind the reigning world champions.
