Following the summer break, Sergio Perez will remain in his Red Bull seat, as confirmed after discussions among the company’s F1 leaders. Team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko met on Monday to review Perez’s performance and other factors, with an internal decision made to retain him. Despite recent struggles, Perez is expected to improve at familiar tracks post-break, Horner mentioned. Although facing a challenging run of form, Perez secured a contract extension for 2025 with potential termination clauses as Red Bull assessed their options.
