Formula E drivers teach children about electric vehicles and how to race them<\/h3>\n

Former world champion Damon Hill believes that Red Bull are \u2018desperately\u2019 searching for a new team-mate for Max Verstappen\u00a0– and compared the F1 champion to\u00a0Michael Schumacher because he’s so tough to compete with. Sergio Perez has struggled alongside the Dutchman this season, prompting discussions as to whether he will be replaced when the season draws to a close.<\/p>\n

Verstappen will be hoping to clinch his third successive Driver’s Championship at the Qatar Grand Prix on October 8 to cap off another sensational campaign for the 25-year-old. The Red Bull star is writing his name into the history books with his success, and he could dominate the sport for years to come.<\/p>\n

However, Verstappen has rarely been rivalled by team-mate Perez who has failed to put any true pressure on him this season. The Mexican had another disappointing weekend at the Japanese Grand Prix with his race blighted by errors.<\/p>\n

After such a disappointing year, despite winning two of the opening four races, Red Bull are weighing up whether to stand by Perez for 2025 or turn to alternatives, and Hill is of the belief that the team are scouring the market in search of a replacement. He explained to the F1 Nation podcast: \u201cI think the team desperately wants a little bit more of a wingman for Max. They know that Max is almost untouchable.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you remember when Michael Schumacher dominated Ferrari and nobody could cope with being number two to Michael? I remember Ross Brawn saying to Eddie Irvine, \u2018Listen, you can\u2019t beat him. You just do the best you can,\u2019 which is anathema to a racing driver to hear that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you\u2019re going to meet someone in this game who is exceptional and probably above your ability unless you are [Ayrton] Senna, [Lewis] Hamilton, Max Verstappen and the rest of the greats [including Juan Manuel] Fangio, Jim Clark.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are these people who are just so difficult to beat. All you can do is get close and do a good job for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Perez can bounce back to form and prove his worth to the Red Bull chiefs in the final six races of the season.<\/p>\n

He is currently in P2 in the standings but is 177 points behind Verstappen and only leads Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton by 33 points.<\/p>\n
