On a television program, Ted Kravitz mentioned that in Guadalajara, Mexico, a man named Sergio was laughing heartily. Kravitz commented that 'Checo' Pérez would have performed better in the 2025 Australian GP than the result obtained by Liam Lawson in the same race. He expressed that, despite Sergio's P18 position, he might feel that he could have done better.
Kravitz expressed his hope that the performance of Max Verstappen's RB21 does not present problems in future races, especially if Red Bull Racing wants to compete for the constructors' championship in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Regarding previous criticisms of 'Checo' Pérez, during the 2024 Formula 1 season, he was questioned by the British press about his stay at Red Bull Racing. In statements, he was asked about his contract and his future with the team in case he did not meet certain expectations.
On the other hand, the British press previously criticized Pérez for Red Bull Racing's defeat to McLaren in the constructors' championship. Despite this, in the 2025 Australian GP, where Liam Lawson ended up crashing into the wall and retiring from the race, the media praised 'Checo' Pérez and suggested that he would have had a better result than debutant Lawson.
In summary, 'Checo' Pérez, who left Formula 1 at the end of the 2024 season, has been the subject of criticism in the past for his performance. However, the British press now acknowledges that he might have had a better performance than Liam Lawson in the recent race in Australia, generating praise towards the Mexican driver.
