Marko’s most recent dig at Checo features a colossal error.

In response to Sergio Perez’s string of subpar performances so far in 2023, Helmut Marko has drawn criticism for making an untrue and damaging jab at him.

In an interview with Austrian television, Marko asserted that Perez’s inconsistent performance was caused by the fact that “he is South American,” despite the fact that his country of origin, Mexico, is located in North America.

Marko has previously made an effort to criticize Perez, labeling his Monaco crash as “unreasonable,” his performance at the Dutch Grand Prix as “lucky,” and lamenting his qualifying performance for the Canadian Grand Prix.

With eight races remaining and Perez trailing teammate Max Verstappen by 145 points, the title is probably going to be decided at the Japanese Grand Prix for the second straight year.

Unlike Max or Sebastian, Marko’s mental focus isn’t as steady.

He told the Austrian news outlet Servus TV, “It was definitely one of the better weekends, and we know he has issues in qualifying.
He has fluctuating physical characteristics, he’s from South America, and his mental focus isn’t as steady as it was with Max or Sebastian.

However, the races have generally been successful, and his performance yesterday was excellent.
“.

The Mexican battled through the field to assist Red Bull in securing its sixth 1-2 of the year and demonstrate his Sunday potential.

“So, we’re hopeful, and oddly, among our accomplishments, a 1-2 finish has been missing, and we’re really excited to have finally accomplished that,” the team said. Marko stated, “.

Perez will need to perform well in the final eight races if he wants to keep his seat through 2024 and beyond.

Marko recently discussed an old agreement with Lando Norris, stating that if Perez fails to perform as expected in the final eight races of 2023, Marko would “definitely be a candidate.”.
