Follow usChristian Horner is convinced that his driver Sergio Perez will overcome his recent woes, which saw the Mexican miss out on a top 10 finish in qualifying on five consecutive occasions.
With his recent dip in form Perez now finds himself 99 points off his teammate Max Verstappen approaching the halfway stage of the season in Hungary, having trailed by only 6 after 4 rounds.
Despite all that, his boss Horner offered his full backing by stating: “He just needs to break it now. He’ll do it in Budapest, I’m confident.”
“I think he’s the type of guy that just needs an arm around his shoulder. You work with him and that’s what we’re doing.” Horner added.
“We’re supporting him, we know he can do it, we know he’ll get back there, and we’re just trying to make sure it happens as quickly as possible.”
The Hungarian Grand Prix will take place on July 21-23.
