As the Australian GP approaches, Sergio Perez has taken the opportunity to reflect on his decision to distance himself from social media. Last year, Perez faced harsh criticism online for his below-par performances. This year, with the pressure of securing a contract extension with Red Bull, he recognizes the importance of avoiding social media distractions during the intense F1 season.
Perez brings a wealth of experience to the F1 circuit, having been involved in the sport for a considerable amount of time. However, since joining Red Bull, he has faced numerous challenges. Since 2021, his performances have consistently come under scrutiny and faced criticism.

The ongoing 2024 F1 season has started positively for Perez. However, considering his history of occasional slumps, he will attract significant attention this year.
