Christian Horner has sidestepped a question over how Red Bull will approach the Sergio Perez situation if he wants to see out his contract with the team, saying the Milton Keynes squad will “see where we’re at” after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Christian Horner has not provided a clear explanation on how Red Bull will handle the Sergio Perez situation post-F1 season finale. It seems likely that the Yas Marina Circuit race could be Perez’s last as a full-time Red Bull driver, despite his contract running until 2025. The specifics of his potential departure from the team remain uncertain. Perez’s challenging season alongside Max Verstappen has seen him without a win, in eighth place in the standings, making him the only top four team driver not to win a race. Horner has avoided directly addressing the issue, emphasizing Perez’s autonomy in deciding his future at the Milton Keynes-based team. He has stated the team will assess the situation after Abu Dhabi without committing to any specific course of action.
