Every point in Formula 1 is worth so much, it's no wonder pressure can mount quickly on drivers in a poor run of form ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Sergio Perez is facing that pressure, but he has the ability to turn it around. Here's six drivers who've done the same in the past ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

#F1 Image Pierre Gasly

After a promising start to his career at Toro Rosso, Pierre was promoted to the main Red Bull team in 2019

However, when he struggled to match the pace of new team mate Max Verstappen in the opening rounds, the squad soon demoted Gasly back to Toro Rosso ๐Ÿ”™Image

The record for the most Grand Slams in F1 has stood for 59 years, and might never be beaten. Hereโ€™s why ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

#F1 Image A Grand Slam is one of the hardest accolades to achieve in Formula 1. Earning it requires taking pole, fastest lap and victory, without ever losing the lead - even during a pit stop

A hat-trick is the same list of achievements, but without leading every lap. There have been 191 hat-tricks in F1โ€ฆ but just 68 Grand Slams. With 75 seasons of F1, on average it has been achieved less than once per season ๐Ÿ˜ฎImage
