F1 fans call out Sergio Perez’s embarrassing form after yet another crash in the Hungarian GP qualifying
Fans on social media shared quite a bit of sarcastic reactions on social media reacting to Sergio Perez's crash. His string of disappointing performances coming after his two-year extension with Red Bull has been a debatable topic.
One fan even assessed this to be his last race with the Milton Keynes-based team.
"This has to be his last race, embarrassing."
"And hopefully out of Red Bull soon 🙏," wrote another fan.
A user also reckoned that the team will not be able to bring future upgrades because of the cost cap since Perez's crashes will bring the team a financial load. He had a major crash in Monaco, followed by Canada. Adding to the list was Hungary.
"Another driver broken by Max Verstappen," claimed a fan.
"Horner looks furious lol," a user observed the RBR team principal.
Red Bull has been leading the Construtctors' Championship since the start of the season. However, the RB20 is seemingly not the fastest car on the grid anymore. This puts a lot of pressure on both drivers through the season to maintain the lead of the championship. Although Max Verstappen has been able to win races and keep his lead of the Drivers' title, Perez's performances might bring the team on the verge of losing the other title.
Moreover, it has been speculated that Red Bull might consider canceling Sergio Perez's two-year extension. Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson have been the speculated swaps for him so far.
