Hamilton certain Red Bull's fate is sealed after what F1 rival Verstappen did<\/h3>\n

Sergio Perez has been blasted for his failure to keep Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc behind him at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with the Red Bull driver’s driving labelled worse ‘than a 13-year-old’. The Mexican finished on the podium for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix after starting 12th on the grid, but his comeback drive was still not good enough in the eyes of some of his critics.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old took the lead of the race with 15 laps to go but still finished third, despite the fact his team-mate Max Verstappen served a five-second penalty during his pitstop. The Dutchman caught Perez with ease and made a simple pass, putting Red Bull on course for a 1-2 finish.<\/p>\n

But on the final lap, Leclerc caught Perez under DRS and made a daring move under braking to snatch second place. Perez left the door open for the Monegasque to launch his car up the inside and Le Mans winner Richard Bradley has ripped into him for failing to keep the Ferrari behind him, comparing it to a mistake he made when he was 13.<\/p>\n

“When I was karting, my dad used to record all of my races with a handheld camera so we could watch them back,” Bradley said on the On Track GP podcast.<\/p>\n

“There was one race when I was 13 where I was really stupid and knew I\u2019d made a mistake afterwards and I didn\u2019t block in a very similar way to Perez on the last lap when I was leading and five karts went by me \u2013 I learned some new words when I watched that video back!<\/p>\n

“For a 13-year-old that was some mature language, but I deserved it and [Perez\u2019s] was identical. That shouldn\u2019t be happening when you\u2019re 13 years old, let alone when you\u2019re in Formula One.<\/p>\n

“Why on earth didn\u2019t he even move to the inside? You just park your car on the inside. It\u2019s very similar to what Max did when he overtook Leclerc. Max overtook Leclerc on the inside and thought that Leclerc was giving him the room.<\/p>\n
