Red Bull emphasizes the positives in F1 despite a disastrous end to Baku race

Associated Press  

BAKU, Azerbaijan — After a race that ended Sunday with Sergio Perez in the wall and teammate Max Verstappen being overtaken by his title rival Lando Norris, there are still signs of optimism at Red Bull. Norris cut into Verstappen’s Formula 1 standings lead, and McLaren took the constructors’ championship lead off Red Bull, while Verstappen now hasn’t won in seven races. “The positive thing is the pace is back, the changes to the car seem to have put us back in contention,” Perez said in a team statement Sunday, arguing that he was a contender for the win in Baku. “We need to keep it up with the progress we have made.” Perez generally does well on street circuits — with Singapore next week — and there’s also his home race in Mexico coming up next month.
