Perez not afraid of Ricciardo: 'It doesn't change anything at all'

Sergio Perez's seat at Red Bull Racing was already under pressure because of disappointing performance. But now that Daniel Ricciardo has been appointed to Red Bull's sister team AlphaTauri, the pressure is only increasing. However, the Mexican does not think so himself.

The situation Perez is in remains unchanged, he tells Viaplay. Even with the arrival of Ricciardo, the pressure does not increase. Perez: "It doesn't change anything. I drive for Red Bull, and Red Bull can basically get 98% of the grid. It's not just Daniel, but also Yuki [Tsunoda]. There are so many other drivers out there, so I have to focus on myself and deliver my maximum."

"That's all I can do. Other than that, it is out of my hands," the Mexican concluded. To confirm, the medium asks again if his seat at Red Bull for next year is guaranteed. Perez's answer is: "Correct."
