Sergio Perez Confirms Talks Underway to Decide Red Bull Future

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - DECEMBER 07: Sergio Perez of Mexico and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the garage prior to qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi at Yas Marina Circuit on December 07, 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

As Sergio Perez’s Formula 1 future hangs in the balance, the Mexican driver has found a moment of celebration amidst the speculation. Perez claimed the FIA’s Action of the Year award for his breathtaking double overtake on Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz during the Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race—a moment that electrified fans and showcased the skill that’s kept him in the sport’s spotlight.


A Moment of Brilliance in a Season of Struggles

Perez’s season was marked by inconsistency, as he failed to match teammate Max Verstappen’s dominance and frequently fell behind Red Bull’s rivals. His multiple Q1 exits and lack of points finishes contributed to Red Bull’s drop to third in the Constructors’ standings—a result that has fueled rumors about his potential exit from the team despite having a contract for 2025.

Yet, his bold move in Brazil reminded fans and critics alike of his racing pedigree. As Sainz and Alonso engaged in a fierce battle for third, Perez swept down the inside, overtaking both in a single maneuver that earned 60% of the vote for Action of the Year.

“That was really an exciting race! Thanks to all for voting!” Perez wrote on Instagram after receiving the award at the FIA’s prize-giving ceremony in Rwanda.


Red Bull’s Verdict Looms

While Perez’s award is a confidence boost, it doesn’t change the uncertainty surrounding his Red Bull seat. Team advisor Helmut Marko indicated that a decision on Perez’s future would be made after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but no official announcement has been made.

The delay has intensified speculation, with many questioning whether Red Bull will stick with the veteran driver or replace him with a younger talent like Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda from their junior program.


A Confidence Boost Amid Speculation

Winning Action of the Year provides Perez with a personal victory in what has been a tumultuous season. However, it’s clear that this accolade alone won’t be enough to secure his future at Red Bull.

Red Bull’s third-place finish in the Constructors’ standings marked a rare failure for the team, and Perez’s lackluster performances are seen as a significant factor. Even with standout moments like his Brazilian Grand Prix overtake, the team must decide whether Perez can deliver the consistency and performance required to reclaim their dominant position in 2025.


What’s Next for Perez?

As Red Bull deliberates, the spotlight remains firmly on Perez. The Action of the Year award serves as a reminder of his talent and ability to deliver spectacular moments, but it also underscores the inconsistency that has plagued his 2024 campaign.

For now, Perez can savor this recognition, but with Red Bull’s decision looming, his future in Formula 1 remains on a knife-edge. Will Red Bull bet on Perez for one more season, or is this accolade a bittersweet farewell to his time with the team? The clock is ticking, and the racing world awaits the verdict.
