The Mexican had an impressive start to the season, winning two of the first four races in Jeddah and Baku. But things have gotten worse for the season since Miami.
When talking about the second half of the season in the most recent Sky Sports podcast, Natalie Pinkham predicted who will finish second in the championship behind Max. She chose Lewis Hamilton, which was unexpected and divisive. However, she added the qualification that Red Bull should replace Sergio Perez if he cannot finish P2 this season. She said:
It’s controversial, but I’m going to say that Lewis Hamilton will finish runner-up. The reason I say that is because I fear that the Aston Martin decent run form is over, whether it is to do with this flexi wing being outruled [sic] or whether they’ve just gone down a bit of a cul de sac in terms of development and it’s been exaggerated by the fact that others have gone well, the likes of McLaren.”
She further added:
But I will caveat that with saying that if Perez doesn’t finish runner-up, he should lose his seat – because this [car] is an unbelievable piece of machinery. And I do believe that Perez has the ability, the talent to do it, so if he doesn’t then I’m afraid that is the end of his career at Red Bull. So I think probably Perez will do it, because he has the talent and the car to do it, but I’m just being controversial.”
