Sergio Perez has been under pressure at Red Bull for some time and speculation over his future at the team has reached new heights ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Sergio Perez seems likely to leave the Red Bull F1 team at the end of the current season due to a challenging season and speculation about his future. Despite signing a two-year extension earlier, Perez has struggled, scoring only one point in the last four races. Team principal Christian Horner suggested Perez should consider his F1 future after a tough round in Qatar. Reports indicate a split between Perez and the team following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend, raising questions about the contractual obligations and sponsorship benefits tied to Perez. Potential replacements for Perez include Red Bull drivers Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, with Franco Colapinto now seemingly ruled out by Horner.
