fight back
Sergio Pérez, Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull, is going through a difficult period from a sporting point of view. The Mexican also had a hard time at Silverstone. His team boss, Christian Horner, expects things to go better in Hungary.
It is as if something has snapped at Sergio Pérez since the Miami Grand Prix. Since then, he has had a very difficult time, especially in qualifying, and he has not yet been able to turn the tide, except for a revival in Austria. Where Max Verstappen strings together the victories, reaching the podium is already quite an achievement for Pérez. Team boss Christian Horner sees that Pérez is struggling mentally. ‘It is typical, as in all sports: 90 percent is in the head. He just needs to have a good series again and then he will find the momentum again.” Racefans.net.
The sooner he starts that good streak, the better. Horner remains confident in his driver and expects that he will be better next race weekend. “It’s frustrating for him that he has to fight back every time, but he just needs to get his qualifying in order. He will get it done again in Budapest, I trust that.” Checo does not have to do that alone, because according to Horner, Red Bull is still squarely behind him. “We will do our best to support him as a team. He is the kind of person who just needs an arm around his shoulder every now and then. We know he can do it, we know he can come back, now we have to We’ll make sure it happens as soon as possible.”
