Horner says the experience Perez needed to establish himself at Red Bull shows the squad promoted Gasly and Albon too soon in the past. F1
But as the team's cars were developed around Max Verstappen's driving style, Gasly struggled to find his groove and he was demoted back to the sister team during the summer break.
Red Bull brought in the much more experienced Perez for 2021, but he too found life hard alongside Verstappen initially before showing improved form last year. "The key thing in the appointment of Checo was his experience and it had been unfair, perhaps, on the previous two guys to bring them in so soon," Horner said.
"He's got a good outlook on the development of the car and he's very easy to work with. That's what all the reasons were for taking him in the first place and he's delivering on that."Photo by: Mark Sutton /Horner conceded being Verstappen's team-mate is a huge challenge for any driver, but feels Perez has risen to it.
