[autotag]Sergio Perez[/autotag]’s status at [autotag]Red Bull[/autotag] has been one of the main topics of the 2024 F1 season. Perez sits eighth in the point standings behind the six drivers from McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes, and teammate Max Verstappen. Recently, ESPN’s Nate Saunders reported that Perez is set to leave Red Bull after the season; however, what does the 34-year-old driver think of those rumors?
On Thursday, Perez addressed the rumors that he won’t return to Red Bull for the 2025 season. As of now, Perez believes, at least publicly, that he will return in 2025.
“Nothing has changed since before in terms of what I’ve said for the entire year,” Perez said. “I’ve got a contract for next year and I will be driving for Red Bull next year.”
It remains to be seen if Perez actually returns to Red Bull in 2025, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him leave. The Red Bull driver has really, really struggled this season, and his distance in the point standings from Verstappen is alarming. Yet, Perez earning one more shot at Red Bull wouldn’t be shocking either, as he is under contract.
