Sergio Perez details Red Bull ‘downgrades’ after going on ‘wrong path’ in F1 2024
Sergio Perez is confident he can find his form again as Red Bull revert to an older spec𝓡ification, Connor McDonagh reports from Zandvoort.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez has revealed that a number of Red Bull F1 upgrades forced him onto the “wrong path” as he looks to turn around his diffi🧸cult 2024 campaiജgn.
Pe🉐rez has scored just 28 points in the last eight races, resulting in Red Bull’s position at the top of the constructors’ championship 🌞to be under threat.
Red Bu༺ll sit just 42 points ahead of McLaren in the F1 constructors’ championship with 10 races to go.
His ꦆpoor form led to intense speculation that Red Bull were considering🅘 making a driver change for this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix.
Speakin🅺g to media including at🎶 Zandvoort on Thursday, Perez detailed what Red Bull learned during the F1 summer break.
“I basically went away and switched off,” he said. “Butജ always, when you are in the summer break, the back of the mind is always in contact with the engineers and what's going on. And it was, I would say, a very positive break for Red Bull. We were able to find a lot of stuff.
“I think, at least, we know where we are with the car right now. You know𝓡, the💖re's been an upgrade or two that probably took us in the wrong path.
“And, I think just looking back at it right now, we know exactly how the car is working, which is a very good thing, because I think it was not so clear in the last few races. Whether we can fix it and get back to the to the level we had earlierဣ, that's another question. But I think in that regard, it's very pos༒itive.”
Perez is expected to drive with a different specification of F1 car as Red Bull revert to older parts in a bid to help the Mexican find his 🍒form.
When posed the question about whether they’re ‘downgrades’, Perez said: “It's clear now where we are with the car. I think it's, it's something that I also want to keep within💮 the 🍸team, the level of detail and we will be working on it.
“I mean, you will see, obviously, what we're going to be doing with the with the cars, but it's something that will stay with the team.🍰 But certainly we've taken somewhere a turn that wasn't right.”
He added:&n꧑bsp; “I think especially with the with the issues we've had, I've been struggling in that direction. Obviously, I cannot go too much in detail, but lots of my struggles have been in that direction. I mean, it's hard to explain the amount of detail, but it's not like in the beginning of the of the year, I was much bett🍌er driver than I am now, you know?
“Certainly there has been some things that didn't go my wa🃏y that ༺were hurting me more, and we were probably not extracting the maximum out of the car in that regard.”
The summer break meeting
It was widely reported that the meeting following the Belgian Grand✃ Prix was to discuss Perez's future - and whether he would be replaced.
However, Perez remains adamant tha𓆏t his future wasn't the point of his discussion, rather it was performance.
