Red Bull makes huge Sergio Perez contract announcement.
Red Bull Racing has officially announced the extension of Sergio "Checo" Perez’s contract, securing the Mexican driver’s services until the end of the 2026 season.
During his tenure with Red Bull, Checo has amassed impressive stats including five race wins, 29 podium finishes, and three pole positions, making him an integral figure in the team’s strategy. Notably, he secured the first-ever pole position by a Mexican driver in F1, and his resilience on critical race days has resulted in him being branded “King of the Streets” and the “Mexican Minister of Defence.
"Checo has had a strong start to 2024 with second places in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Japan and then his podium in China. The past few races have been tough, there is convergence on the grid, but we are confident in Checo and look forward to his return to proven form and performance, that we so often see.
"Last year was a unicorn season and we will need to work hard to retain our titles, but we are assured in our line up and with the Team as a whole, which is imperative in what is shaping up to be a close fought Championship this year.”“I am really happy to commit my future to this great Team, it is a challenge like no other racing for Oracle Red Bull Racing, both on track and off track.
"Being part of the Team is an immense challenge, and one I love. We have a great challenge this year and I have full trust in the whole Team that the future is bright here and I am excited to be part of it. I want to thank everyone for all the trust they are putting in me, it is a lot and I want to pay it back with excellent results on track, and off track. I think we have a lot of work to do, we have a lot more Championships to win together.”Lydia is the lead editor of F1 editorial.
