Red Bull is expected to drop Sergio Perez from its driver lineup for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Perez's poor performance this year, coupled with Red Bull's slip to third place in the constructors' championship, has put his future in jeopardy. Despite having a contract for next season, Perez's manager is reportedly attempting to negotiate a substantial payout for his departure.
The 34-year-old Mexican is expected to be dropped from Red Bull ’s driver line-up for 2025 after a disappointing season, with an announcement set to come before Christmas.
Perez’s woeful form and failure to turn things around played a major role in Red Bull slipping to third place in the constructors’ championship behind McLaren and Ferrari, and left his future hanging in the balance. Speaking on the Formula For Success podcast, former Red Bull driver Coulthard was critical of the way the situation is being handled by Perez and his manager, Julian Jakobi.
“Julian Jakobi is his manager - Julian we know and respect for many years; intelligent, good manager. But his job is to make sure the money is there.
