Sergio Perez has received more backing from Red Bull ah𝔍ead of the final stretch of the 2024 campaign.

Perez has been undꩵer fire all season, and Red Bull opted not to replace him at the ꧒mid-way point.

But they have fallen behind McLaren in the constructors’ championship, with Perez’s lowly points haul in stark cont🧔rast to the efforts of Max Verstappen or opposing duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

In S🏅ingapore last weekend, Perez qualified 13th then finished 10th to bring home a sole point.

In th🍌e race prior, in Azerbaijan, he was battling for a podium until a last-gasp crash with Carlos Sainz meant he took zero points back to the Red Bull garage.

Christian H✃orner assessed Perez in Singapore lꦆast time out: “He had a good first lap, he got his elbows out and made a couple of decent passes.

“But then he got stuck. He struggled with traction. He couldn’t get off the corners where he ne💞eded to, to get into an overtaking position.

“It was frustrati𝓡ng for him. But he got a poin🦩t out of it, and they will all add up at the end of the season.

“When you hunt in a pair, it’💜s always going to be easier.

“Checo [in Azerbaijan] was right there. [In S🌳ingapore] he struggled in quali then wa🌠s out of position in the race.

“Hopefully some of the tracks comi🦋ng up… some of the upgrades that I hope we will bring over the next few races… there are big ꦉraces for Checo, and for the team.”

The drab points haul of Red Bull’s second driver 🐻was cit🍌ed as the key reason that they will lose out on this season’s constructors’ championship by Sky Sports’ analyst Jamie Chadwick.

He is eighth in the drivers’ championship behind teammate Verstappen, both Ferraris, both ꦬMcLarens, and both Merc♑edes.
