Sergio Perez was told to "concentrate more on racing" as Helmut Marko gave a blunt assessment of the Mexican's situation.
After the first five races of the year, Perez was only 14 points behind Max Verstappen and was doing a good job of keeping up with his Red Bull team-mate. But the last two Formula 1 race weekends have brought little other than disappointment for him.
His crash in qualifying meant he started at the back in Monaco and was unable to progress to the points position. Perez needed to make up for it last weekend in Spain but was consigned to 11th on the grid and reached only fourth in the race.
