Red Bull driver Sergio Perez faced a disappointing blow during qualifying for the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix as he crashed into the barriers, jeopardizing his position at the team. The incident occurred during Q1 on a rain-soaked Hungaroring track, where Perez's Red Bull RB20 spun off at the exit of Turn 8, resulting in significant damage to the car's rear end.

The crash prompted the red flags to be raised, halting the session with 6 minutes and 45 seconds remaining in Q1. Fortunately, Perez emerged from the accident unharmed and made his way back to the Red Bull garage. However, the incident has intensified scrutiny on the Mexican driver's future with the team.

Speculation surrounding Perez's position at Red Bull has been mounting, with Team Principal Christian Horner describing his recent run of poor performance as "unsustainable," particularly following his P17 finish at the Silverstone race. This unfortunate crash will undoubtedly increase the pressure on Perez to deliver better results in future races.

While the Red Bull mechanics work diligently to repair the damaged car, the team's attention is solely focused on preparing it for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday. Despite a late flurry of quick laps, Perez ended up in P16 after the qualifying session, marking his fourth Q1 exit in the last six races.

As Sunday's race approaches, all eyes will be on Sergio Perez in hopes of a strong comeback. Whether he can demonstrate his resilience and potential remains to be seen, but his performance in the Hungarian Grand Prix could determine his future with Red Bull.
