Red Bull have reportedly decided on the driver who will become Max Verstappen's new team-mate for F1 2024 if Sergio Perez leaves.
Sergio Perez stares awkwardly at Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen after their titanic battle in the Austrian Grand Prix sprint race. Styria, July 2023.
Perez’s place at Red Bull has come under severe threat in recent months in light of a dramatic mid-season implosion, which saw him fail to reach Q3 for five successive races between Monaco and Britain and score just five points in the last three races in Singapore, Japan and Qatar.
Perez is said to be aware that his future hinges on to his ability to cling on to second place in the Drivers’ Championship, with Red Bull aiming to have their drivers finish first and second for the first time in the team’s history in 2023. The Australian lost his place on the grid at the end of 2022 after two difficult seasons with McLaren, rejoining Red Bull as reserve driver before returning to a race seat with AlphaTauri following July’s British GP – the final race in Perez’s sequence of five races without a top-10 start.
