Red Bull ended any speculation over their 2025 line-up by extending the contract of Sergio Perez on Tuesday.
Sergio Perez has put pen to paper on a two-year extension to his Red Bull stay, but who are the winners and losers of the deal?ended any speculation over their 2025 line-up by confirming Perez will be driving for the team but it is a move that has had an impact on other members of the paddock. Red Bull built a reputation of being cut-throat with their treatment of Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly but with Perez, they have often been shown willing to keep the faith.
In Perez’s first year, he went straight into Verstappen’s good books by doing everything in his power to assist with the Dutchman’s title win and even now, Perez is willing to do the dirty work to help his team-mate. Marko has been the most vocal critic of the Mexican, going as far as making a xenophobic and incorrect statement last year, and it could be guessed that the 81-year-old would have preferred to put a different driver in the Red Bull seat.
Confirmation that Perez will be staying not just for one but two years has effectively shut the door on Ricciardo’s return and with the drivers being the same age, it is not as if Ricciardo can outlast the Mexican. The Audi link is still there but the German manufacturer’s desire to secure the three-time race winner has so far been given the cold shoulder while Italian reports, which should be taken with a grain of salt, are suggesting Mercedes are favouring a promotion for Kimi Antonelli.
