While the outside world may have wanted a change, Red Bull always seemed likely to keep the faith with Sergio Perez.
Replace the name Sergio Perez with Valtteri Bottas and the current speculation surrounding the Mexican sounds awfully like what was being said about the Finn during his Mercedes days.
Toto Wolff is open in his admission that had it not been for Rosberg’s retirement after his title win in 2016 then the Austrian would have shown at least one of the drivers the door. Even during his poor run last season where he failed to reach Q3 on eight occasions, Horner was reluctant to hang his driver out to dry.
That RB team-mate is Yuki Tsunoda who was always an outside bet to get the Red Bull seat, even if he has continued to impress this season.That means that if Red Bull would opt to replace Perez, they would have to look externally with former driver Carlos Sainz being an obvious choice but going back to what we said earlier about what a team wants in a number two driver, the Spaniard is not an easy fit.
