Max Verstappen had continued to defy all odds and perform well in a struggling RB20 chassis. Sergio Perez however couldn’t keep up with the struggles and failed to follow his teammate in performance. As a result, multiple people believed that Perez would soon be ousted from Red Bull due to his failures. However, the 34-year-old will continue the season as intended and Verstappen is happy.
Sergio Perez’s contract extension amidst failing performances was one of the major reasons for the rumors. However, Red Bull declared his continuation as intended for the 2024 season at least. As a result, Max Verstappen claimed that he was ‘happy’ due to this. In addition to this, Verstappen believed that this clarification would help Perez focus on the remainder of the 2024 season.
I am happy he can now focus on the rest of his season.Max Verstappen told formule.1nl.
Apart from this, Verstappen noted that Sergio Perez was a ‘very nice teammate’ to the former. However, the Dutchman also highlighted that he wasn’t ‘too concerned’ with all the rumors. The Mexican driver continued to attempt his best and he was awarded a continuation with the team. Hence, the remaining ten races will help the Mexican driver seal his future with Milton Keynes further.
He is a very nice teammate. But to be honest, I have not been that concerned with all the rumours.Max Verstappen added
Max Verstappen claimed he was ‘concerned’ about ‘how to proceed’ for the remainder of the 2024 season
Max Verstappen continued to work with the team to improve on performance after the performance slump. Verstappen noted that he ‘talked a lot’ with the team regarding how to proceed in the season ahead. Subsequently, the 26-year-old added that he was ‘concerned’ with this issue after suffering from a winless streak.
I talked a lot with the team about how to proceed now. I was particularly concerned about that.Max Verstappen noted.
The Red Bull crew has continued to work on their issues to score a comeback in the latter half of the 2024 season. The team is continuously running the risk of being ousted from the top spot by the rival teams. Hence, the competition will further bunch up at the front and provide great racing action for all the fans.
