Sergio Perez has requested a three-year contract extension with Red Bull, but the team remains hesitant. Perez has been in excellent form this season, but Red Bull is wary of a potential performance dip similar to last year. Additionally, the team’s interest in other drivers, including Carlos Sainz, complicates Perez’s future. Despite accepting his role as second driver, Perez’s strong performances have helped Red Bull maintain its dominance in the Constructors’ Championship.
