This Friday it emerged that Sergio “Checo” Pérez will leave Red Bull at the end of this season, as stated by the former Formula 1 driver, Ralf Schumacher, who also said that the Mexican has no future in the energy drink team.
Perspective Writing
Sports media highlighted that team director Christian Horner has insisted that Pérez’s agreement, which expires at the end of 2024, will be respected, although Schumacher believes that Pérez knows that he will be asked to leave before next season.
«I think the answer is relatively clear. I mean, even this weekend, I think for me, the Perez issue at the end of the season is resolved. I think he knows it himself,” Schumacher said.
He adds that, in the event of his departure, he believes that the natural replacement would be Daniel Ricciardo, the “simplest and most logical solution.” For me, Ricciardo being at Red Bull next year is the simplest and most logical decision.
It is worth mentioning that Pérez’s future with Red Bull has been in debate among fans and experts for a long time due to his lack of consistency.
If this were to happen Lawson could do a full season with the sister team, for which he scored points last weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix. Lawson has convinced Schumacher that AlphaTauri’s 2024 lineup will be the 21-year-old and Tsunoda.

ACCORDING TO HELMUT MARKO, HE IS NOT FOCUSED
Red Bull’s main advisor, Helmut Marko, recently gave some controversial statements against Sergio Pérez, whom he told that “he is South American and that is why his head is not as focused as Max Verstappen or Sebastian Vettel was.”
The words were discriminatory against Checo due to his roots, however, the Austrian manager sent a message to his critics and revealed the notification he received via the energy drinks company’s corporate office. «I hope that the incredible passion that my comments unleashed has now subsided. “I was notified of the FIA warning by email,” Marko told OE24 Sport.
