Perez denounces critics: 'I don't care if I'm honest'

Sergio Perez is facing a lot of criticism because his performance has not been anything to write home about. The Mexican failed to reach Q3 on the qualifying day of the British Grand Prix for the fifth time in a row. That while Max Verstappen wins time and again in the current Formula 1 season.

Perez tells GPblog and others about his relationship with Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko and Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. "Yeah, I have full support from Helmut, Christian, the whole team is fully backing me and they know what I can do, they know my potential and they're fully behind me."

The Red Bull driver is not enamoured with the criticism he receives, according to his next passage. "Yeah, I couldn't care less if I'm honest about that. I've been in Formula 1 for 13 years and I've seen it all, I'm not worried about any of that, I'm mainly focused on getting my season back on track and making sure I keep enjoying this."

Recently, a big rumour circulated saying that the Mexican would be replaced by either IndyCar driver Alex Palou or Red Bull reserve driver Daniel Ricciardo. The 33-year-old Perez's Formula 1 seat is anything but certain.
