During the break between the races in Singapore and the US, Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko made several statements that Max Verstappen could have a new teammate next year. It is therefore not surprising that Sergio Perez was asked in Austin about a possible dismissal.
Sergio Perez: “Sometimes people spread rumors and others pick them up. With my home game in Mexico coming up, I want to make a clear statement: I am 100% confident that I will be in this team next year. I have a signed contract and everything else is not my problem. Now all my thoughts are about dealing with the current problems with the car.
We have brought new products to this stage, but we do not know how they will work, because we have problems with the correlation of data obtained in the wind tunnel and on the track. We don’t have specific figures, but we are now trying to get the car back to the speed it used to be. Austin is the perfect song to try this.
If the new products work and we prove to be competitive on this circuit, the situation in the battle for the title will change dramatically.”
