The Mexican racer has been kept on by Red Bull despite his poor form over recent races.
Sergio Perez has pledged to “maximize” the rest of the F1 season following Red Bull’s support despite his recent struggles. In the past eight races since the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Perez has only garnered 24 points, raising concerns for Red Bull’s chances in the constructors’ championship. After discussions with team bosses Horner and Marko, it was confirmed post the Belgian GP that Perez will stay with the team for the rest of the year. With upcoming races in Azerbaijan and Singapore, where he has triumphed before, Perez aims to rediscover his winning form, having secured five podiums in Baku and being the only two-time race winner there. Understanding the crucial juncture he’s at, Perez is determined to deliver strong performances to propel the team forward. With a renewed spirit post the summer break, Perez expresses confidence in his capability and that of his team to make the most of the remainder of the 2024 season despite the need to acclimate to a new race engineer temporarily due to his current engineer Bird taking paternity leave.
