A Formula 1 driver has expressed concerns about Red Bull’s future driver lineup, criticizing the team’s unclear direction regarding their plans. Currently, Sergio Perez occupies the second seat alongside Max Verstappen, a four-time world champion. Despite having a contract that runs until 2026, Perez’s position at Red Bull has come under scrutiny following a challenging season. The team has confirmed that talks about Perez’s future will take place after the conclusion of the 2024 season.
Perez endured a difficult year, finishing eighth in the drivers’ standings, a significant 285 points behind his teammate, Verstappen, who claimed his fourth consecutive title. This stark contrast in performance has raised questions about Perez’s ability to consistently compete at the level Red Bull demands. Verstappen’s dominance on track has further highlighted Perez’s struggles, prompting Red Bull team principal Christian Horner to consider changes for the upcoming season in order to strengthen their championship prospects.
While Perez’s contract guarantees his place for the next couple of years, the team is not ruling out the possibility of making adjustments to their driver lineup. This uncertainty around Perez’s future has raised concerns among F1 observers, with some questioning whether Red Bull is fully committed to the Mexican driver or whether they are seeking a more competitive second driver. The situation has left fans and experts alike wondering what Red Bull’s plans are as they look to maintain their edge in the highly competitive F1 landscape.
As the team moves forward, the decision regarding Perez’s future will play a crucial role in shaping Red Bull’s strategy for the 2025 season and beyond.
