Recently, racing experts analyzed the effects of Lewis Hamilton’s strong pursuit. They also highlighted how fortunate Sergio Perez was in the recent Qatar Grand Prix.“He got a little bit lucky in Qatar that Lewis crashed into George because Lewis is 30 points behind now and in the last three races he has made up 25 points on Checo.” The pundits not only highlight Hamilton’s comeback but also emphasize his careful planning and steady performance in closing the gap with Perez.
Moreover, the discussion highlights how Hamilton’s determination has shaped the championship, so far. Despite being in a considerably weaker car. “I think he has to finish second [Sergio Perez] in the championship. Actually, that’s looking under threat.” It’s a known fact amongst F1 enthusiasts that the current RB-19 is a work of art! Even though Max Verstappen has managed to push the car beyond his limits, thanks to his talent. This is why Lewis Hamilton even presenting a challenge to Sergio Perez showcases the Mexican’s poor form.
Whether or not Sergio Perez deserves to remain at Red Bull is up for debate. But one thing that is unquestionable is his current poor form. Being in the strongest car on the field and struggling to collect points is a very bizarre and unexpected occurrence. Especially when it happens to an experienced driver like Sergio Perez.
Dips in form are common for athletes. But in Checo’s case, he doesn’t have that much time. With him already in his early 30s, he’s soon expected to no longer have age on his side. And with all due respect to him, not every driver is Lewis Hamilton, who continues to defy the odds, despite old age. And neither is the sport of F1 forgiving as young prospects appear every season.
Red Bull’s pursuit of championship glory
Whilst Red Bull has had seasons where they won constructors’ and drivers’ championships in the past. What they are yet to achieve is a feat that has only been done by teams like Mercedes. On top of the accomplishments mentioned, having a driver finish second in the driver’s standings. This does seem quite odd when considering how dominant Red Bull has been, and how one-sided the championships really have been.
