Horner clarifies the future of Sergio Perez
Despite a disappointing F1 season, Sergio Perez will apparently continue to step on the gas in the Red Bull cockpit. Team Principal Christian Horner made the announcement on Monday.
"Checo will remain a Red Bull driver. We look forward to seeing him again after the summer break on race tracks where he has already performed well," theTelegraaf quoted Red Bull boss Horner as saying after a meeting with Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko on Monday.
Premature replacement
Perez has been driving for the world champion team from Austria since 2021 and recently extended his contract until 2026. Since then, however, things have not been going well for the 34-year-old Mexican. World championship leader Verstappen (265) has more than twice as many points as Perez (124).
That is clearly not enough for a number two at Red Bull, which is why there has been speculation about a premature replacement this summer. Red Bull youngster Liam Lawson (22) and Daniel Ricciardo (35) from sister team Racing Bulls were seen as candidates to replace Perez.
