Red Bull have been told that potentially replacing Sergio Perez is a “delicate process”. The infamously ruthless F1 constructors’ champions axed Daniel Ricciardo from their RB sister team in favour of Liam Lawson this season. But they backed Perez at the midway stage when he was under immense pressure to lose his race seat.

Amid the rumours of an early exit from Red Bull and potentially the sport as a whole, Perez has remained positive he will still have a seat alongside Verstappen for 2025. In a post on social media platform Instagram, Perez posted a video promoting a partnership he has been involved with which saw him get behind the wheel of a brand new car.
