Formula 1: Sergio Perez comments could be writing on the wall

Formula 1: Sergio Perez comments could be writing on the wall

As a seasoned gamer of Formula 1 races, I must say that this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix was a rollercoaster ride with its fair share of drama! Sergio Perez and Liam Lawson, two young guns on the track, seemed to have their own personal feud unfolding before our very eyes. While Perez has his concerns about Lawson’s attitude and awareness, I can’t help but feel that this might just be the beginning of a fierce rivalry that could shake up the world of F1!


In the recent Mexico City Grand Prix, drivers Sergio Perez and Liam Lawson, both facing unclear future prospects in Formula 1, engaged in a fierce competition. This rivalry peaked when Lawson, the New Zealand racer, performed an aggressive move to overtake Perez on the straightaway, resulting in him spinning off Perez in the process.

At the post-race press conference held at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, the Mexican driver openly criticized Lawson. He specifically focused on Lawson’s attitude and overall awareness, also recalling a similar incident between Lawson and Fernando Alonso that occurred at Circuit of the Americas the week before.

Despite Perez having some valid arguments, it seems illogical that a fight with Lawson is his priority following his P17 finish – which was last among those who didn’t retire – at his home Grand Prix.

For more than a season, the 34-year-old’s position has been uncertain, and his recent remarks, in which he compares himself to a driver with only seven races under his belt vying for a spot at RB, while he races for Red Bull, do not present a favorable image.

Fair or foul, Lawson only increased his chances of replacing Perez.

Since the beginning of the 2023 season, Sergio Perez has experienced a significant drop in performance. Unfortunately, he’s been involved in numerous accidents or failed to advance past Q1 on several occasions.

Following his arrival at RB following the Singapore Grand Prix, Lawson has been mentioned as a possible contender for the Red Bull racing seat that Daniel Ricciardo previously held, potentially partnering Max Verstappen in 2025.

Regardless of the criticism Lawson has faced lately, his resilience and spirit displayed on the racetrack in Mexico are qualities that Red Bull values highly when paired with Verstappen. The events of Sunday have caused some to notice a few parallels between the driving styles of the Dutch and New Zealand drivers.

As we edge towards the final decision, I can feel the intangible qualities Red Bull team leaders Christian Horner and Helmut Marko are seeking. They’ve hinted that tough choices lie ahead, and with only four race weekends left in 2024, it’s all about giving it my best shot until the finish line in Abu Dhabi. The coveted spot as Red Bull’s second driver in 2025 is up for grabs, and I’m ready to seize every opportunity that comes my way.
