The words of a well-known face of F1 are clear, everything suggests that his experience will be in the final credits: the situation
Days of rest, read days of reflection and hard work. Once the Suzuka parenthesis was over, Formula1 stopped for a week allowing the teams to prepare for the next round in China and to work behind the desks at planning for the future.
In home Red Bullfor example, in addition to the events on the track, the issue relating to the future of Sergio Perez. The agreement between the Mexican driver and the Milton Keynes team will expire at the end of the season and still needs to be renewed. These are very hot days in this sense, and some statements from the person concerned have further inflamed the environment. Checo he wanted to launch a real ultimatum to the top management of the reigning world champion team.
Perez pushes for renewal, Red Bull takes time: the situation
“I think it’s a question of time, obviously the driver market is moving and there will certainly be a lot of movement in the coming weeks. So I expect that within a month I will actually know what I will do next year“Perez declared to ‘Sky Sports UK’. “I’m quite calm. My main focus is F1 and whatever happens I’m really satisfied with what I’ve done so far in this sport.”added the Mexican, well aware that he could soon be ‘stranded’.
We remember, Perez is back from a 2023 season seasoned by second place in the drivers’ standings but at the same time marked by numerous performance below expectations. This year he started the season in a decent way, but his level has never been remotely comparable to that of teammate Max Verstappen. It goes without saying that Red Bull is considering whether to keep him in the team or not and, before making a final decision, they want to see how the Mexican will react to the stressful situation.
To date, the feeling is that, regardless of what the track says, the relationship between the 34-year-old from Guadalajara and the Austrian team could now be at the end of the headlines. Also because market developments have presented Horner and his teammates with the tempting opportunity to bring back to Milton Keynes the Carlos Sainz who was let go too soon. As for Perez’s future, the possibility of saying goodbye to Formula 1 is taking shape.
