We’re all attempting to search out the man who did this. Regardless of Crimson Bull’s ace driver Max Verstappen already clinching the championship with ease the workforce will go away the 2024 season no higher than third within the constructors’ championship behind Ferrari and McLaren. Talking to the press forward of this weekend’s season finale Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Crimson Bull’s Sergio Perez displayed incredulity that his workforce didn’t attempt tougher to win the constructors’ championship. “I’m clearly a part of an enormous group, an enormous workforce and it’s very unlucky that we didn’t combat any tougher for the constructors.”
Whereas Crimson Bull has a transparent primary driver with Max taking 9 Grands Prix victories this season, the drivers in pink and papaya have cut up their victories and factors fairly evenly. Sergio Perez, in the meantime, has suffered three DNFs and completed exterior the factors paying positions 4 instances. He hasn’t completed above sixth for the reason that Miami Grand Prix in Could. Perez has fewer factors from the final 4 races than his teammate has victories.
Regardless of all this, Perez nonetheless believes his contract with Crimson Bull is stable for the 2025 season. There are a number of Crimson Bull junior drivers vying for his seat on the desk, together with RB F1 Staff drivers Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, in addition to Williams driver Franco Colapinto. Lawson let drop right this moment that he’ll “have extra data” about his future subsequent week, which means a Crimson Bull resolution should be imminent.
Perez is true, Crimson Bull is an enormous group and he’s not the one one in charge. The workforce has undoubtedly been constructing automobiles that don’t carry out as much as the requirements of a World Championship workforce this yr. It’s fairly apparent that the automotive is constructed to Max Verstappen’s driving type, and he has actually discovered a approach to get essentially the most out of it. However even that considerably defective gear is able to race victories in the best fingers. It’s time for Sergio Perez to face the info that he doesn’t have the best fingers anymore. From ESPN:
“Nothing has modified since earlier than when it comes to what I’ve stated for the total yr. I’ve obtained a contract for subsequent yr and I will likely be driving for Crimson Bull subsequent yr,” he stated.
When requested by ESPN if he was 100% positive regardless of the stories this week, Pérez stated: “I already stated, mate. Nothing additional so as to add. I’ve a contract for subsequent yr.”
It’s most likely not enjoyable to acknowledge that you simply’re washing out of the game at 34 years previous, however after 281 Grand Prix begins it’s for one of the best if Perez stands down and graciously accepts his destiny. This isn’t a great search for him, and he’s not going to win anyway.
You gave it your all, Sergio. You had actual flashes of brilliance and delivered while you wanted to for 13 years. Your podiums with Sauber and your race victory with Racing Level will likely be a part of your spotlight reel for many years to come back. You served as a valiant and respectable quantity two driver at Crimson Bull, serving to that asshole Max Verstappen win his championships. It’s time to confess that you simply’re executed right here. You’ve discovered the man who did this, and he wants his naked backside spanked.
