A two-time F1 race winner has been tipped as a potential candidate to replace Sergio Perez next season.
Former F1 driver Christian Fittipaldi believes Oscar Piastri could potentially replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull next season, as Piastri has had a successful second F1 season with wins in Hungary and Azerbaijan. Piastri is seen as a future title contender but faces challenges with McLaren giving priority to Lando Norris over him, currently sitting fourth in the drivers’ standings. The possibility of team orders at McLaren to support Norris has led to speculation that Piastri might consider a move to Red Bull if frustrated. Fittipaldi suggested that Piastri could make the switch to Red Bull should he grow tired of McLaren’s dynamics and focus on his own career. The potential move would be influenced by Piastri’s performance, McLaren’s strategies, and Perez’s struggles at Red Bull. Fittipaldi’s comments open up discussions on the future dynamics within F1 teams and the drivers involved.
