Ex-Formula 1 winner Felipe Massa believes Red Bull would be “wise” to keep Sergio Perez, insisting that nobody else could
There has been speculation about Sergio Perez being replaced at Red Bull, despite having a contract for 2024. However, Felipe Massa believes it would be wise to keep the current partnership intact as long as Max Verstappen is happy and the team continues winning both championships. Massa thinks that any change would negatively impact Verstappen, who is currently performing at an unprecedented level. Even drivers like Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso might struggle to beat Verstappen at Red Bull. The scrutiny surrounding Perez’s future is driven by the desire for a close championship fight, but Red Bull is aiming to secure the top two positions in the Drivers’ standings this season.
