'Clear that Verstappen's side wants a new teammate'
- GPblog.com
Sergio Perez beat Max Verstappen for victory for the second time this year. According to Ralf Schumacher, it is clear that the Verstappen camp would want to replace 'Checo'. The German claims Perez is more selfish because he knows his time at Red Bull Racing is coming to an end.
The safety car fell somewhat fortunately for Perez and as a result, he took over the lead from Verstappen. Despite this stroke of luck, the Mexican also just seemed to have more speed. After Perez took over the lead from the Dutchman, the two-time world champion was unable to catch up with his teammate, indeed, the gap between the two actually grew.
'New teammate wanted'
In his column at Sky Sports, Schumacher reported that the Verstappen camp would want a new teammate. "From my point of view, it is clear that Verstappen's side wants a new teammate. I hear these rumours everywhere."
"I see it as a problem that Pérez knows his time at Red Bull Racing is coming to an end. He is fighting for his chance to play at the front, to win, to have a go at the title. That is why Sergio is now becoming more selfish, and as far as selfishness goes, Max Verstappen cannot complain. Max is doing very well, he is rightly the number one in the team, but he is also clearly marking his territory," the German continued.
