The Red Bull driver, currently eighth in the drivers&#8217; standings, has struggled to keep pace with his teammate Max Verstappen, who is dominating the championship with seven wins. Perez hasn&#8217;t finished higher than sixth in his last 13 races, and his performance has contributed to Red Bull&#8217;s slip in the constructors&#8217; standings, where they now trail McLaren by 40 points with only five races remaining.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8 | Christian Horner says he needs Sergio Perez to step up and help Red Bull in the Constructors&#8217; Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFerrari, congratulations to them.
