A clear majority of F1 fans have voted that Red Bull should re-consider the now-signed contract extension it offered Sergio Perez.
The majority of F1 fans agree that Red Bull should reconsider re-signing Sergio Perez, as the 34-year-old has been struggling with poor performance lately. Despite his extension until at least the end of next season and potentially into 2026, Perez’s recent form has been underwhelming. His meagre eight points in the races leading up to and following the contract confirmation contrast sharply with teammate Max Verstappen’s 83 points. The team’s option for 2026 surprised many, but the timing of the deal was the most notable aspect. Given Red Bull’s other options, locking Perez in so early in the season does not seem like the best decision based on recent showings. Most F1 fans view the move as a mistake and believe Perez should be replaced in the RB22 for the 2026 season.
