Sergio Pérez will end his contract with Red Bull next year and, if his agreement is not renewed, he may not be left without options in Formula 1. The possibility of a return to Sauber, now in the project with Audi, is beginning to take shape.
The Mexican newspaper Record questioned Sauber team representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi about #11 and made it clear that they would like to have his services: ‘He is one of the top drivers. He is an option and if it were up to me, I would bring him to the team tomorrow.’
Although Pérez is listed as a candidate, the head of the Swiss team made a caveat: ‘He is strong and an option, but we should not dismiss anyone.’
In recent days and weeks, drivers such as Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), Esteban Ocon (Alpine), Nico Hülkenberg (Haas), and Pierre Gasly (Alpine) have been linked to the Sauber/Audi project. Although Audi’s entry is only in 2026, the new drivers could enter as early as 2025, as there are several contracts expiring next year.
