Amid rumors that this place Sergio Pérez excluded from Red Bull team despite a contract, the Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve He believes that the team will not make any decisions with the Mexican because he brings two very important things: the first is sponsorship money and the second is stability alongside Max Verstappen.
Yes, believe it Franco Colapinto Yes, he deserves this seat at Red Bull: “Colapinto deserves a place, but there may not be one available…”
“It’s very simple. Everyone says he will take Pérez’s place, but Pérez is already there and has a contract. It’s been ten months that people have been saying that Pérez won’t take part in the next race. Stop say it, he has a contract,” he said in an interview with ‘Grosvenor Sport’.
“It brings sponsorship and stability to the team. Verstappen is happy with himself and who knows how much of the difference is because Perez is a bit lost at the moment. Maybe that’s the case… or maybe it’s just that Verstappen is incredible,” said the Grand Cirque champion of the 1997 season.
He thinks Red Bull would regret it if they removed Checo from his seat. What if it goes wrong? “If you put another driver there who is not doing better, what have you achieved? They know that internally because they have other drivers in the group. “Red Bull Juniors Team”says the former Formula 1 driver.
“The goal of the Red Bull Junior Team is not to put Colapinto among the ‘big cars’, it is train the drivers of the “biggest cars”he said in closing.
