Agree with the comments above. Being self-critical and putting pressure on yourself is very very different than having your boss brutalize you in public every weekend. Marko brought up Checo's kids this weekend as a reason for his poor performance...that's unacceptable.

"Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s advisor, recently made statements that fueled rumors surrounding Perez’s potential exit. Marco has criticized Perez’s work and age, calling him inconsistent and old-fashioned. Marko also added that Perez is expecting a fourth child and has other interests that don’t align with their own."
This isn't the Btitish press, the guy is a total dick. How dare he bring Perez' pregnant wife into the public domain like that???
When RB broke the budget cap they used families and kids of employees as a human shield, saying the criticism was affecting them and they were being bullied.
Then Marko explains to the press that his family and kids may lose him his seat. She's pregnant right now. No need for that level of stress or anxiety. And I hope she isn't struggling already because as most know this is a major cause of miscarriage.
There is a reason many despise that team and man. He's vermin. In most other environments he'd be summarily dismissed. At Red Bull they laugh about the PR difficulties. It's like the Spanish FA but many times worse. And this is not the only ugly stuff he has said.
