Will he still be there in 2024?
Will Sergio Pérez still be a Red Bull driver in 2024? It still seems that way, although there are more and more rumors that he has been given an ultimatum. However, according to his team boss, that is not the case.
Sergio Pérez started this Formula 1 season strongly, but 2023 is above all the year in which he fell further than ever behind teammate Max Verstappen. The Mexican still has to work hard to maintain his second place in the championship. If he succeeds, Red Bull will have scored a 1-2 in the championship for the first time. In addition, he would also secure his future at Red Bull, because according to… Motorsport.com Otherwise, he would probably lose his place at Red Bull and Daniel Ricciardo will be put in the car in the new season.
Team boss Christian Horner explains according to the Mirror that there is no such condition. “We have not discussed or even considered that,” he stated firmly, according to that medium. Pérez would still be on the docket for 2024, as has also been reported by Red Bull, as stated in his contract. However, it cannot be denied that Pérez does not deliver what Red Bull expects from him and, due to the team’s unrelenting attitude towards its drivers, the threat of an early departure has not yet disappeared. In a few days, Pérez can try to further save his career in the United States GP.
What do you think; will Pérez actually be there next year, or is there more going on behind the scenes?
