Organisers of the F1 Mexico City GP are growing “very concerned” about the prospects of a contract renewal amid Sergio Perez being axed by Red Bull.
Sergio Perez’s future in Formula 1 was uncertain as he faced a poor run of form leading up to the Mexico City Grand Prix last October, despite a record number of fans attending. Red Bull decided to part ways with Perez after the end of the 2024 season due to his continued struggles. The Mexico City GP’s contract is set to expire in 2025, and race organizers are concerned about its future without Perez, aiming to secure an extension with the championship. With venues like Imola and Las Vegas also facing expiring deals in 2025, Mexico City’s position on the F1 calendar is uncertain amid competition from other regions. The absence of Perez raises questions about the event’s ability to draw crowds and secure a contract extension, with potential contenders waiting to take its place.
