Surprising turnaround
F1 bang at Red Bull: Will Perez have to leave after all?
Is there going to be a driver crash at Red Bull Racing? According to media reports, Sergio Perez, who only recently extended his contract until 2026, could now face being sacked after all. "Strict performance clauses" are apparently to blame.
As "auto motor und sport" reports, the air is getting thinner and thinner for Sergio Perez. The Mexican has disappointed recently, and now he could even lose his cockpit at Red Bull - even though he had just extended his contract.
With Daniel Ricciardo, a successor would already be ready. If the Australian can continue his upward trend at the Racing Bulls and Perez does not find his way back to success, there could soon be a driver crash. Because then Ricciardo could replace the Mexican at Red Bull.
