After Suzuka ‘shocker’, just how safe is Perez’s Red Bull F1 seat?
On paper, Sergio Perez’s seat at Red Bull is safe for 2024, as per his contract. However, contracts in Formula 1 often mean very little, as every driver has their price and there are usually secret clauses in deals. While Perez’s seat may not be under immediate threat, his position could become precarious if he doesn’t improve his performances. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has subtly stoked up the pressure by mentioning other drivers they are keeping an eye on, including Lando Norris. Horner’s emphasis on Perez’s championship position and the desire to achieve a 1-2 finish in the standings suggests that Red Bull may be considering other options for the future. Despite facing frustrations and difficulties, Horner believes Perez can bounce back and achieve great results in the remaining races of the season. Horner’s efforts to keep Perez motivated indicate that the team wants to see improvement from the Mexican driver.
