Sergio Perez claims that Red Bull did not provide him sufficient protection during his challenging 2024 Formula 1 season, leading to his departure from the team. Despite finishing 8th in the Drivers’ Championship, Red Bull let him go after a tough year while Max Verstappen clinched his fourth consecutive title. Perez has stayed away from the media spotlight amid rumors of a potential role with Cadillac in their debut F1 season. Red Bull has since had two different teammates for Verstappen, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, struggling with the RB21 car. Perez believes Red Bull regrets removing him and asserts that pressure they created led to his dismissal, even after signing a contract extension. He says Red Bull could have ended speculation by protecting him after the contract was signed but the ongoing rumors and poor results led to his eventual exit at the end of the season.
