Max Verstappen is very comfortable driving within Red Bull Racing without encountering any resistance, focusing solely on external challenges. According to an inside source, this could be the reason why the Mexican, who is performing dramatically poorly, has not yet been fired…
It is unpleasant for many—not only in the peloton, but also outside—that while a driver of Carlos Sainz's caliber signs with one of the weaker teams, the other car of the team that supplies the individual world champion is driven by a driver who often doesn't even reach the level of F2. Recently, Eddie Jordan expressed his incomprehension about the situation. In other words, on the contrary: he understands perfectly!
“When it comes to Sergio Perez, I always feel very bad for him because I really like the guy. He's a nice guy, pleasant in society, but while he struggles and fights to keep his place, it's simply undignified… And he should be hopeless professionally, at least based on his performances. Yet there's Max Verstappen and Christian Horner, I think it's their fault. The latter serves the former because Max puts pressure on him, and he doesn't want a rival within the team. That's precisely why Carlos Sainz couldn't sign with Red Bull.
"That doesn't really represent a good sporting mentality, which they should think about..." Jordan said. It would be hard to argue with the old man.
