In the second half of the 2024 Formula 1 season, Sergio Perez felt Red Bull contributed to a toxic environment in his garage, pressuring him unduly for results. Despite having a contract extension until 2026, Perez’s exit was abrupt, with little protection from Red Bull as issues arose with car development. Red Bull’s decision-making and failure to shield Perez from speculation about his future created unnecessary strain, affecting the entire team. After Perez’s departure, Red Bull replaced him without significant success, leading to regrets within the team for the handling of the situation. Perez hinted at Red Bull losing its way post-Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley’s departures, impacting the team’s performance trajectory.
