Red Bull Racing has chosen to extend Sergio Perez's contract with the team to the end of 2026, effectively sidelining Carlos Sainz, a hot prospect in the sport'
, the team principal of the Milton Keynes team, explained the rationale behind this significant decision during an interview during the Viaplay broadcast, shedding light on the thought process that guided the team's choice."Carlos is a great driver and he's on the market for next year. We did think long and hard about that. But in the end, Checo has done so much for the team. He's a great team player. He's still performing at a very high level," Horner explained.
"What they've achieved together as a pairing is the most successful pairing we've ever had in Red Bull Racing. So we felt that it was right to have that stability and continuity," said Horner. On the other side, the fallout from this decision leaves Carlos Sainz as a significant figure still on the driver market, eager to find a seat for 2025. As Formula 1 teams continue to strategize for upcoming seasons, Sainz's availability is likely to spark a flurry of negotiations and speculation within the racing community with him being reportedly connected to Williams and Sauber - soon to be Audi.
