Red Bull will have a driver decision to make for the 2025 season – but Christian Horner believes external interest will cool as the field comes closer together.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner believes interest in the second Red Bull seat will decrease during the 2024 Formula 1 season due to the team’s dominant performance this year. With Max Verstappen winning the World Championship and Sergio Perez struggling, questions have arisen about Perez’s future with the team. Red Bull will soon have to make a decision on the second seat as Perez’s contract runs until the end of the 2024 season. Horner expects the competition to close up in the future, leading to less interest in the Red Bull drive. He also mentioned that F1’s technical regulations will not change until 2026. There are rumors linking Daniel Ricciardo to the 2025 drive, and Horner highlighted that Red Bull has multiple options available for their driver decision.
