In dramatic fashion, Red Bull has put to rest all speculation about Sergio Perez’s future with the team.
- Despite rumors, Sergio Perez will continue racing for Red Bull after the summer break.
- A surprisingly bad slump in form had everyone questioning Perez’s place.
- Even with a new contract, rumors swirled about his potential exit.
- However, Christian Horner has stepped in to confirm Perez’s stay.
With reports buzzing that Sergio Perez might lose his seat at Red Bull, Christian Horner confirmed that this isn’t true. We’re looking forward to seeing him perform at tracks he’s done well before, post-summer break.
Despite signing a new multi-year deal before the Canadian Grand Prix, Perez hit a rough patch. He crossed the line eighth in the Belgian Grand Prix, which turned to seventh after George Russell’s disqualification.
Red Bull’s higher-ups, including Horner and Helmut Marko, discussed Perez’s future on Monday. Speculation grew that Perez’s race at Spa might be his last for Red Bull.
However, Horner confirmed that Perez retains the team’s support. Perez expects to stay a Red Bull driver and stated this topic is now closed for discussion.
In response to more questions about his future, Perez firmly stated, ‘Correct.’ and made it clear he won’t discuss this any further. ‘This is the last time I will speak about the future,’ he said. ‘We have too much going on in the team to waste energy on speculation.’
Sergio Perez’s saga continues with him firmly staying at Red Bull, putting all exit rumors to rest.
