Max Verstappen is very comfortable driving for Red Bull Racing without opposition and focusing only on external challenges. According to one insider, this may be the reason why the dramatically weak Mexican has not yet been axed...
Many people find it unpleasant - not only in the field, but also outside it - that while a driver of the level of Carlos Sainz moves to one of the weakest teams, in the second car of the team that produces the individual world champion sits a driver who often does not even reach F2 level. The last time Eddie Jordan got angry was that he did not understand what was going on here. In other words: He understands it very well!
"When people talk about Sergio Pérez, I always feel very uncomfortable because I really like the guy. He's a nice guy, nice company, but the way he tries and fights to keep his place is just not dignified... And professionally he should have no chance, at least based on his performance. But 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 to be a rival in the team. That's exactly why Carlos Sainz couldn't move to Red Bull.
This is not a good sporting approach, they should think about it…” - Jordan said. It would be hard to argue with the old man.
