Sergio Perez Claims Mercedes’ ‘Jealousy’ Could Hinder Hamilton’s Performance at Ferrari

1 years ago By Sports Desk

Lewis Hamilton’s surprise announcement that he will join Ferrari in 2025 caused mixed reactions in the world of Formula 1. Now, Red Bull driver Sergio Perez has revealed his unique perspective on the matter, hinting that Mercedes’ “jealousy” could be harming Hamilton’s performance. ferrari

Perez highlighted the interesting dynamic that can arise when teams change drivers, especially when it’s a long-term transition like Hamilton’s. “We all know how jealous the teams are to share information because Lewis has been there [at Mercedes] for many years and brings a lot of knowledge to other teams,” Perez said.

The Mexican driver, who has previously faced uncertainty in the drivers’ market, remained calm about the early start of F1’s so-called “silly season”. He described his approach as follows: “Honestly, if you’ve been in this business long enough, you know how it works. I don’t worry too much, I just want to have fun and be inspired. Above all else, the rest will take care of itself.”

Perez’s Red Bull team-mate Verstappen expressed similar concerns about the Mexican, saying Hamilton’s decision to go public before the start of the season could create obstacles for the team. “It makes it a little bit more difficult for the team to cooperate throughout the year,” said the world champion. “But of course they’re all professionals, I’m sure they can handle it because they’ve had a lot of success together. But of course they’re not allowed in certain meetings.”

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari not only affected the Mercedes team, but also shook up the market for F1 drivers in 2025. With the prominent Mercedes seat now available alongside George Russell, the drivers’ debate season could start earlier than usual. Noting the change, Perez commented, “I’m sure most of the drivers are ready to get things at the start of the year.”

Uncertainty over Perez’s future at Red Bull, with his current contract set to expire at the end of this year, has further complicated the F1 landscape. However, the veteran driver remains calm, focused on a great season. “This is my 14th season in F1. So for me, my main goal is to do well on the track.”

As Hamilton’s move to Ferrari remains a hot topic heading into the winter break, Perez’s words offer an interesting perspective on the potential dynamic between the team and the driver next season. While some see it as a challenge, others believe the change could bring some innovation to Formula 1. It remains to be seen how this decision will affect the season and management discussions in the coming months.
