Kravitz believes Red Bull have an even bigger headache following Perez’s win

Formula 1 and Sky Sports journalist, Ted Kravitz believes Red Bull have another conundrum on their hands following Sergio Perez's win in the Sakhir Grand Prix.

"It gives Red Bull another problem doesn't it. Do they then sign the guy who has just won this race. I don't know. What do they do?” What Kravitz does know, however, is the following: “Helmut Marko was on the phone, that's all I can tell you.”

Kravitz continued: "After the race, he normally speaks to the Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz. Was he on the phone to him? I don't know, he could have been on the phone to his family or his wife. Who knows, he might have been on the phone to the boss after Perez won the race saying: 'You know what, I've changed my mind, maybe we should bench Albon for a year and put Sergio in the car for a year and see how they both do."

The elegant solution

“That'd be the elegant solution," Kravitz went on to say. “Put Albon on the bench, give Sergio Perez a year against Max Verstappen. Just to see how it goes. What have they got to lose? Albon is still going to be with Red Bull, Christian Horner confirmed that this weekend. And then see how Perez does, if he has the same thing as Albon then at least Alex has had a year to clear his head, get his act together again and come back. Then Perez can go and do whatever he was going to do for 2022, which he has offers for already. If Perez is good, and he can equal or beat Verstappen, then so be it. He can keep him."
