Sergio Perez downplayed the suggestion that Daniel Ricciardo could replace him at Red Bull, despite Ricciardo's strong performance in qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix.
Perez had one of his best qualifying sessions of recent months relative to team-mate Max Verstappen, finishing Q3 just 0.160s behind the world champion as the pair lined up third and fifth. However, the two Red Bulls were split by the AlphaTauri of Ricciardo, who was quick throughout qualifying, taking fourth, fifth and fourth across the three sessions.
' He added: 'Especially during qualifying it ramped up a bit, the temperature, which did change, as I say, 3-4 degrees of track temp. 'In any other place, you don't feel that, but in Mexico, it changes the balance quite a lot, because you are so much on the edge, and always sliding around.' Perez said that he made progress over the US GP weekend, and that has continued at his home event. 'We already made the progress in Austin,' he said.
