Christian Horner has made a sensational claim that some F1 drivers have offered to drive for Red Bull for free in a bid to taste race-winning machinery.
Red Bull’s dominance in Formula 1 has been unparalleled since the introduction of new regulations in 2022. With Max Verstappen leading the charge, they won 21 out of 22 races last year. However, Sergio Perez has struggled, leading to calls for his replacement in order to increase competition. Perez’s contract expires at the end of 2024, and this is also the case for many other drivers on the grid. Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, has stated that they would like to keep Perez if he performs well. Horner emphasized the importance of Perez improving his qualifying performances, especially as the grid is expected to become more competitive in 2024.
