It will now be a surprise if Sergio Perez is not racing for Red Bull when the Formula 1 season resumes at the Dutch Grand Prix, but could the reprieve only be temporary?
The rumor that Sergio Perez will race for Red Bull in the upcoming Formula 1 season has gained strength, following a meeting between Perez, Red Bull chief Helmut Marko, and team principal Christian Horner. Horner has made it clear within the team that Perez remains a Red Bull Racing driver, though this decision has not been publicly confirmed. Despite reports suggesting Perez will retain his seat, the situation is not officially set in stone and may only be temporary. Red Bull seems to be delaying any definite decisions, preferring Perez to regain his strong early-season form rather than replace him. Perez’s recent decline in performance has allowed McLaren to close the gap in the constructors’ championship standings significantly, which may prompt Red Bull to reassess their options in the future.
