A poor display during FP1 at Monza on Friday was an indicator of Sergio Perez having "lost his way" at Red Bull, according to Martin Brundle.
Earlier in the season the Mexican was considered to be a bona-fide championship contender. That opinion was especially common after the Monaco Grand Prix, as his victory there left him just 15 points off the pace of team-mate Max Verstappen in the title race.
Since then though he has comfortably been second best to the Dutchman. While Verstappen has been dominant, Perez has struggled for form and consistency, which has seen him slip to 109 points behind and almost certainly out of title contention.
