Sergio Perez needs to get back on track in Budapest.
He knows his recent struggles are putting Red Bull’s constructors’ title at risk.
“Well, I think I haven’t been performing, first of all, at my 100%, with the circumstances when you put yourself in difficult positions,” Perez said. “I obviously take a lot of responsibility for that. Obviously, there have been a lot of circumstances as well with different sorts of racing, different sorts of races. So I think it’s a little bit of everything when you are in this vicious circle. We had a really strong Friday but then I messed up in Silverstone in qualifying so that was down to me. Then with the strategy in Silverstone, we just threw the dice and saw what happens. It didn’t work for us. But I think the main thing is, I’ve been in this business for too long and I know that it will only matter where I finish in Abu Dhabi so let’s ride the roller coaster and get back on form very soon.”
There is no lack of mental strength according to Perez
Perez believes getting back into form is mostly about mental strength and he seems to enjoy this challenge. “Mentally you have to be very strong and I believe that I’ve been very strong in the past it’s a challenge that I’m facing right now to overcome this difficult period, and as I said before the reason I enjoy it so much, this challenge is because it’s very difficult mentally. It’s very difficult from the sports side to be able to just focus on that because it drains you completely,” he shared.
Fans might think he’s got what it takes to bounce back.
“And the most important thing is that you focus on what you have to do and what you can change and the rest, just laugh at it,” added Perez with a smile .
What do you think? Can Perez turn things around?
