Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle has admitted he will be “relieved” when a decision about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s future is made.

Red Bull reportedly held a meeting on Monday to discus꧋s Perez’s future amid his poor fo𝔉rm.

Perez’s poor performanc𝄹es have resulted in Red Bull dropping t♎o third in the F1 constructors’ championship - their worst finish since 2019.

As a result, Red Bull are considering promoting either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen for next year.

Daniel Ricciardo comparison made

When reflecting on Perez’s situation, Brundle likened it to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s.

🌠Since leaving Renault at the en🦹d of 2020, Ricciardo’s career has taken a nosedive.

He struggled to get on top of the McLaren in 2021 despite ending their win drought at Mꦿonza, while he was dropped by the team in 2022.

While he showed flashes of pace during his stint at Red Bull, he was dropped for Lawson𒊎 after the Singapore Grand Prix.

Speaking during Sky’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage, B🔥rundle offered his thoughts on the situation, describing Perez as being in “purgatory”.

“I feel the same way about Sergio as I did about Daniel Ricciardo,♊ actually,” Brundle said.

“I have the utmost respect for the person and the ꧋driver and the victories he’s had and some of the great overtakes and all the thi𒁏ngs we’ve seen Sergio do.

“Sometimes in subpar cars, as well, he’s won races without the fastest car on the track. Total respec꧟t.

“But I’ll be slightly relieve🅰d when it’s over. It must be purgatory for him at the mome🍸nt.

“He’s lost his mojo, he’s lost his way and all the pressure🗹 that’s being heaped on that, it must be [difficult].

“To turn up to the track every day m𝓡ust be painful.”
