Three-time Formula 1 race winner Johnny Herbert has said he would be worried if he was Sergio Perez, given his form in the first half of the 2023 season.
Herbert, who also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a motorsports career that spanned over three decades, has spoken out on Perez’s current situation at Red Bull.
While Verstappen has taken full advantage in a display of man and machine working perfectly together, Perez has really struggled at times, missing out on Q3 on several occasions. Just over 40 points ahead of the likes of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in the standings, who haven’t had nearly as competitive cars at their disposal, pressure has built on Perez’s position as a Red Bull driver.
“Verstappen is very happy with the situation because he’s not under pressure or being challenged in any way, but Red Bull know they’ll need someone that will be consistently at the top when the other teams get more competitive.”Video of How have McLaren turned their 2023 F1 season around? “Who do you replace Perez with?”, questioned Herbert. “They could look at Lando Norris - I don't know if he can get out of his contract or if there's a performance clause.”Norris has been suggested in the paddock as a name worthy of a top seat in Formula 1, and the Brit has impressed once again this season with McLaren.
