EXCLUSIVE: Sergio Perez makes unprecedented move to save Red Bull career amid F1 struggles.

Prior to the United States Grand Prix, Sergio Perez has been working hard to improve his lagging Formula One performance, according to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner in an interview with Mirror Sport.

According to Christian Horner, Sergio Perez has been working extra hard to stop the rot and restart his season.

The Mexican driver is currently experiencing what may be his most challenging stretch as a Red Bull driver. He has the fastest car on the grid at his disposal, but over the last three full race weekends, he has only managed to score five points.

And after causing several collisions during that time, his racing has come under scrutiny. In the races in Singapore and Japan, he collided with a number of people, including Yuki Tsunoda, Alex Albon, and Kevin Magnussen.

He received three different track limits violations penalties in Qatar two weeks ago, which hindered his progress and caused him to finish only 10th. Lewis Hamilton has closed the gap to just 30 points in the drivers’ standings thanks to Perez’s appalling performance.

Red Bull has never previously had two competitors place first and second in the standings. Helping Perez maintain his second-place position is the only task left on their list because they have already won the constructors’ and drivers’ championships.

Although team owner Horner is doubtless worried about his driver’s form, he expressed his happiness to see Perez making every effort to get back into shape in an interview with Mirror Sport. He had been on the

Rumours over the last week claimed Perez could face the axe if he fails to hold on to second place, but Horner dismissed the suggestion. “It’s not something that we have discussed or even contemplated,” he swiftly replied when the claim was put to him. “Checo is our driver and we want to support him in the best way that we can.

“We believe that he can achieve that second place in the championship but he is up against tough competitors with a lot of racing still to go. We selected Checo in the first place because of his experience and his ability to be able to deal with pressure. He did a lot for us in ’21 and ’22, contributing to the constructors’ championship last year and this year with the victories he has achieved.

“We are aware of his potential, but we haven’t seen it in the last few races. We want to help him so that he can regain his early-season form. We must not overlook the difficulty of being Max’s teammate during this challenging season.

We are aware of Checo’s potential and his propensity for struggling in qualifying, but on a Sunday afternoon when he is racing, he is at his best. That is something he has repeatedly proven. He’s won two Grands Prix, we’ve had six one-two finishes this year, and he’s still 30 points behind Lewis Hamilton in the world championship. Not everything has been bad.
