Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko expresses satisfaction with Sergio Perez’s performance and attitude this season. Despite Max Verstappen’s dominance, Perez has shown consistency with four podium finishes. Marko notes that Perez has abandoned his pursuit of beating Verstappen and adopted a more collaborative approach, resulting in better qualifying results. However, Perez’s seat remains uncertain beyond this year, with Red Bull weighing their options and considering other drivers like Alex Albon.
The Formula 1 driver market is heating up ahead of the 2025 season, with several top drivers’ contracts expiring. Sergio Perez, who has been with Red Bull since 2021, is among those whose future is up in the air. Perez had initially wanted a three-year extension, but Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko says the team is not yet in a position to make any decisions. Red Bull has a number of options for the 2025 season, including current Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz. Perez’s performance in the next few races could play a key role in determining whether he gets a new contract with the team.
