Having looked impossible following his two-year renewal with Red Bull, Sergio Perez's cockpit could yet be under threat from Daniel Ricciardo...
The door for a sensational mid-season switch of drivers at Red Bull hasn’t been completely shut, despite the renewal of Sergio Perez ’s contract.
“But, of course, the point that you sign a driver, the contents of any agreement are not going to be disclosed to all of you lot. “Particularly with Max Verstappen as your team-mate. He knows he’s being measured against the very best, and we need him up there supporting Max, because there’s two McLarens now, there’s two Ferraris, there’s two Mercedes and we need there to be desperately two Red Bulls.”
The aforementioned performance clauses on both Ricciardo and Perez’s contracts could open the door for a change of seats, particularly if Ricciardo can continue his upward momentum through the Silverstone, Hungaroring, and Spa-Francorchamps races to reach the summer break on a high – putting Horner in the luxurious position of being able to choose whether or not to promote Ricciardo back to the seat he vacated at the end of 2018, or stick it out with Perez.
