Red Bull Stuns F1 Community with Sergio Perez Comeback Announcement
In a shocking turn of events, Red Bull has dropped a bombshell by announcing a stunning comeback for Sergio Perez, albeit in a non-driving capacity. The Mexican driver was unceremoniously axed from the team at the end of the 2024 season, following a disappointing campaign that saw Red Bull finish third in the constructors’ standings.
Perez’s struggles with the RB20 car were well-documented, as he struggled to make it out of Q1 and consistently deliver points throughout the season. Despite a strong start to the year, the 34-year-old’s difficulties behind the wheel eventually led to Red Bull bosses running out of patience, and the announcement that Liam Lawson would be replacing him for the 2025 season.
However, it appears that Perez’s departure from Red Bull may not be as cut-and-dry as initially thought. According to former F1 driver David Coulthard, an “agreement” has been reached that will see Perez return to the team in a marketing capacity. Coulthard revealed the news on the Formula for Success Podcast, praising Perez’s character and achievements as a driver.
Coulthard acknowledged that while Perez’s on-track performances may not have matched those of his teammate Max Verstappen, he remains a highly respected and popular figure within the F1 paddock. The former driver highlighted Perez’s impressive victories, including his iconic wins at the 2022 Monaco GP and the 2020 Bahrain GP.
While Perez’s return to Red Bull may not be in a driving capacity, it is a testament to the strong relationships he built during his time with the team. Coulthard’s revelation has sent shockwaves through the F1 community, with many fans and pundits alike expressing their surprise and delight at the news.
As the 2025 F1 season approaches, all eyes will be on Red Bull to see how Perez’s new role within the team unfolds. While he may not be behind the wheel, his presence and influence are likely to be felt throughout the paddock. The news serves as a reminder that even in the high-stakes world of F1, relationships and personalities can play a significant role in shaping the sport’s narrative.
