P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Carlos Sainz is looking for a new drive in 2025 and has previous ties to Red Bull who really should consider him as a replacement if Sergio Perez’s time comes to an end.
If Sergio Perez maintains his current form in the 2024 season, Red Bull may consider extending his contract for 2025. The team relies on Checo to support team leader Max Verstappen and be ready to seize opportunities for victories if Verstappen encounters any issues. Last season was tough for Perez as he struggled against Verstappen, who dominated. Should Perez not continue with Red Bull in 2025, Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda are potential candidates, but Carlos Sainz should be a top choice after being left without a seat at Ferrari. Sainz’s consistent performance and ability to challenge top drivers make him a strong contender for the Red Bull seat, especially in comparison to other potential candidates like Ricciardo and Tsunoda, who have their own uncertainties.
