Sergio Perez's Red Bull seat is under threat amid a poor run of performances and results this season, and the team will not be short of options should it decide to replace him
Sergio Perez has been warned that Red Bull have "three drivers" waiting in the wings and eager to take his seat.
Just five points scored across the last three rounds is hardly form befitting a driver in by far the best car on the grid. So wasteful has Perez been this season that Lewis Hamilton, despite having a much less competitive car, is just 30 points behind and hunting him down for second place in the drivers' championship.
"Now it becomes critical when two such strong drivers are in the McLaren," he said of Perez's problems, speaking to Austrian broadcaster ORF. "I hope we can save second place. It looked quite comfortable for a while, but now the lead is melting. New Zealander Lawson has been filling in for Daniel Ricciardo, who is expected to make his return from injury at the United States Grand Prix. The other drivers on the books is Yuki Tsunoda, who earned a new contract with a strong start to the season, even if some inconsistency has crept in for the Japanese racer of late.
