Red Bull-Perez, the yes is close
Despite having collected just four points in the last two race weekends, he has yet to win a single GP in 2024 and is currently fifth in the world championship standings – also behind Carlos Sainz who has contested one GP less – Sergio Perez would have convinced Red Bull to confirm him for the 2025 season alongside Max Verstappen. This is stated by the German site Bildwho also indicated what the contractual option adopted should be: it would be a 1+1 agreement.
Options for the team
Perez would have guaranteed the seat for next season, while for 2026 the option of an extension would be to the advantage of the Austrian team, who could decide whether to exercise it or not. A favorable solution for both parties, with Checo who would be sure of another year in a top team with the possibility of trying to deserve a further extension on the field, while Red Bull could test the market – and the performances of the pilots already under contract with her such as Tsunoda – in view of apossible line-up change in 2026.
What a show on social media
Meanwhile, the world champion team itself is having fun on social networks ‘play’ on this waiting situation. Yesterday – June 3 – the message arrived inviting enthusiasts to “stay tuned” in view of future announcements. Then, after Ocon’s farewell to Alpine was made official at the end of the season, Red Bull joked about Threads making a ‘quote’ of the famous tweet with which Piastri rejected the promotion in Alpine in the summer of 2022. “We understand that, without our agreement, Alpine F1 has released a statement on Esteban Ocon, causing wild speculation about our announcement ‘Stay tuned’”wrote the reigning champion team, sparking hilarity on social networks.
