Is this the reason Red Bull will stick with Sergio Perez in 2024?
Helmut Marko has said it is a “lack of alternatives” that makes it hard for Red Bull to get rid of Sergio Perez.
Perez has been underperforming this season in comparison to World Champion Max Verstappen and it appears Red Bull’s patience is wearing thin. Christian Horner said Perez had a “shocking race” in Qatar while there are frequent rumours that the team may be looking for an early end to the relationship.The main sticking point to that though, according to Marko, is a lack of available alternatives., “but Perez has a contract that we want to respect. We are doing everything to get him back on track.As for who can keep up with Verstappen, Marko said there was only one candidate.
A rumour emerged this week that Perez had told friends and sponsors that he was going to retire at the end of this year although that was later publicly denied by his PR team. Perez’s Red Bull future does appear to rely on his ability to secure P2 in the championship with the Mexican failing to do that last season. He currently leads Lewis Hamilton by 30 points but it is the Mercedes driver who has been in better form of late.Seven eye-opening F1 2023 stats with surprise Sergio Perez fact revealedMore Daniel Ricciardo hype emerges as return to Red Bull seat teased
