Former F1 driver Gerhard Berger recently praised Pierre Gasly and suggested he deserved a second chance at Red Bull Racing. Red Bull sports adviser Helmut Marko agreed, adding that they have six months to compare Gasly and Perez’s performance and make a decision..
Helmut Marko: “Gerhard is right. But now we have a contract with Sergio Perez and we have to compare the performance of the two riders. There is still time for this until the middle of the season.
Even before the race in Jeddah it was clear that at such an early stage of the season, when Max and Sergio do not have points yet, we will not use team tactics. Our new car suits Sergio better than last year, he is more comfortable behind the wheel and he already knows the team. We are very happy with the developments.
As for Gasly, he has a contract until 2023. If we can’t offer Pierre a transfer to a stronger team after completion, we will most likely lose this rider. And we don’t want that.”
