Checo Pérez should be the defense minister for Red Bull in 2022

 Checo Pérez should be the defense minister for Red Bull in 2022.

The Mexican driver must improve what was done in 2021 for the team to win a Constructors' Championship again.

The Mexican driver, Sergio Pérez, will have to face his second season with Red Bull with a clear objective, to be third place, at least, in the drivers' world championship and repeat the role he played throughout 2021 that led to the coronation of Max Verstappen as world champion.

The man from Guadalajara came to the Austrian team to replace Alex Albon, a role that he more than played by achieving four double podiums with him along with Max Verstappen, a fact that he will have to overcome next year.

The demands for Checo Pérez will rise and within the team he has his first critic, advisor Helmut Marko, who has no qualms, nor bites his tongue when it comes to questioning the Mexican, but has also praised him throughout the year .

Checo Pérez had Valtteri Bottas as his direct rival in 2021, but next year he will have a different opponent on the grid, the new Mercedes team driver, George Russell, who at 23 years of age will experience his first opportunity as a star.

This year he achieved a total of 190 points, so in 2022 he will have to break the 200 point barrier, especially considering that this year he retired three times and was outside the top 5 in six races.

The point in favor that Checo Pérez will have is the adaptation that he achieved over the last 12 months within the organization and with the RB16B, which led him to obtain a victory in Azerbaijan. With this, the pilot and his engineers had feedback on what will be next season, which underwent an important modification in its regulations and froze the development of the engines.

Checo will have to be the "minister of defense" that Red Bull needs throughout the year, becoming a headache for Lewis Hamilton and helping the team achieve a new constructors' championship.

The Mexican will have all eyes on him. With a contract that ensures permanence for only 12 months, he will have to drive and obtain podium results from the first races, while off the asphalt he will have to take care of his position against some rivals who want it, such as Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly and the young from the Red Bull academy looking to make the leap to the Big Circus.
