As Max Verstappen once again won in Formula 1, this time picking up the Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez once again floundered.
The Mexican qualified eighth fastest, but thanks to his three-place grid penalty for driving an unsafe car back to the pits in Canada - to help Verstappen by not deploying a safety car - started 11th.
He could only pass the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso and Alpine pair Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon as he took eighth and four points.
It means in the last four races, Perez has just eight points and two DNFs to his record, with Verstappen hauling 83 in the same period.
As Red Bull faces tougher threats for the Constructors' crown from McLaren and Ferrari, it needs Perez to up his game, which armed with a new two-year contract, in the shape of a 1+1 deal, he should be able to do.
But given the dip in form he is showing - coupled with a similar trend last year, do you think Red Bull should reconsider signing Perez?
