The Formula 1 season for Mexican driver Checo Pérez has been tumultuous and full of challenges. As the race progressed, Pérez was constantly affected by technical problems with his car, losing confidence in his performance. In the first four races of the year, his teammate, Max Verstappen, dominated at the front, while Pérez struggled to stay competitive.
In the Monaco Grand Prix, Pérez faced difficulties from qualifying, finishing in 18th position on the grid. As the season progressed, Pérez was involved in a series of crashes and poor results, leading to criticism of him and his future with the team. Despite a victory in Barcelona in June, the season became even more complicated for the Mexican driver.
Amid accidents and criticisms, Pérez fought to regain his position in the championship. Despite renewing his contract with Red Bull until 2026, the results did not favor Pérez, with multiple crashes and poor performances. The loss of key components in the team and design issues with the car have left Pérez struggling to stay afloat this season.
With Verstappen leading the fight for the drivers' championship, Red Bull needs Pérez to score points to remain in the fight for the constructors' championship. However, Pérez's season has been marked by a lack of confidence in his car, technical problems, and crashes that have affected his performance on the track.
Despite some flashes of good performance, such as his second place in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Pérez has faced a complicated season, with multiple challenges and criticisms. With the team struggling to find solutions to its design and performance problems, Pérez's future with Red Bull remains uncertain amid a season full of ups and downs and difficulties.
