Sergio Perez Faces Challenges at Las Vegas Grand Prix with Early Q1 Exit

Sergio Perez encountered significant difficulties during the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, marking a tough weekend for the Red Bull driver. On the first day of the event, Perez finished in 19th place on the time sheets, a position that was far from his team’s expectations.

The struggles continued into the qualifying sessions, where Perez was eliminated in Q1 for the fourth time in five races. This early exit highlights the ongoing challenges he is facing with the Red Bull car.

Perez’s performance has raised questions about his position within the team, as this is not the first time he has faced criticism and speculation about his future with Red Bull. Since joining the team in 2021, there have been consistent rumors about potential replacements from Red Bull’s junior drivers.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix has been particularly tough for Perez, who admitted after the first day that “we are not where we want to be” and acknowledged that there is significant work to be done to improve their performance.
