Much has been made about drivers like Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo potentially replacing Red Bull’s Sergio Perez sooner than later. But according to Red Bull team principal [autotag]Christian Horner[/autotag], there may be some other drivers in play.
Horner spoke to Sky Sports News on Tuesday and revealed that the team has received some outside interest for their second seat in 2025. He expressed happiness at the idea that the team’s success has the ability to draw such allure for other drivers on the grid.
“It’s just the position that we’re in it’s great to have a lot of interest,” Horner told Sky Sports. “And it’s not just from those drivers [Perez and Ricciardo] – it’s from drivers outside our spectrum as well regarding 2025.”
Just who that could be is only speculation, but there are a few notable options. The team has reached out to driver Lando Norris in the past, so a potential link there wouldn’t be entirely unprecedented. There are also plenty of former Red Bull drivers currently outside the spectrum that could possibly return, such as Alex Albon or Carlos Sainz.
In reality, though, players like Ricciardo, Tsunoda and current Super Formula driver Liam Lawson are far more likely to get first looks — should Perez even get replaced, that is.
