Despite being close to securing second place in the Formula 1 World Championship, Sergio Pérez’s performances, which are far below those of his teammate Max Verstappen, have sparked several rumors about his future – even though his current contract only expires at the end of next year. Felipe Massa commented on the matter.
In an interview with the publication Formule1, the 2008 vice-champion argued that there is no reason for the team to change its structure:
“As long as Max is happy and the team wins the drivers’ and constructors’ championships, I think it would be wise to leave things as they are now. Max is visibly feeling good and wins almost every race. For him, any change would mean deterioration.”
