Sergio Perez has failed to advance past the first qualifying round in Monaco for two consecutive years.
The Formula 1 team has been the dominant force this season, with Perez being the driver to chase. However, his teammate has struggled in the European leg, failing to make it into the top qualifying round for two races in a row. Perez himself faced disappointment in Monaco, not even making it past the first qualifying round, which has drawn criticism from fans.
Perez has earned a reputation as the “King of the Streets” for his impressive performances on street circuits. However, this year has been a different story, as he has been unable to consistently challenge his teammate Max Verstappen. This was evident in the recent Monaco Grand Prix qualifying, where Perez was nearly two-tenths of a second behind the required time to advance to the next round.
Fans are starting to believe that Perez’s time in Formula 1 may be coming to an end.

Can Red Bull please consider signing Carlos Sainz now??
Fans expressed their disappointment with Perez’s underwhelming qualifying performance at a track where he has previously won. Some even suggested that Red Bull should hire the free agent for the next season, bringing up unpleasant memories from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend.
Not only fans, but even fellow Formula 1 drivers have started to criticize Perez. They compared his performance to that of his teammate and mocked his helpless situation.
One driver in particular took a jab at Perez’s performances, stating that Formula 1 is a team sport.
The British driver explained that at Red Bull, only the Dutchman has been leading the team. In contrast, teams like and have both of their drivers competing for top positions, which benefits them in the constructor’s standings. This is a luxury that the Austrian team does not have.
Despite the setbacks, Perez has a history of impressive comebacks in Monaco. Fans can hope for an exciting race in the principality, reminiscent of previous years.
