In recent days, rumors have emerged pointing to Fernando Alonso replacing Sergio Pérez at Red Bull as early as the 2024 Formula 1 season. However, the team’s consultant, Helmut Marko, once again assured the continuity of the current driver, denying the speculated move of the two-time world champion who represents Aston Martin.
In statements to Sport1, the Austrian reiterated that the Mexican is not leaving: ‘Both Christian Horner and I have emphasized several times that Pérez will be driving with us next year. Regardless of the results. He has a contract and we will fulfill it’.
Regarding the speculation about Alonso, Marko suggested that the source could be the Spanish driver himself: ‘I can well imagine Alonso spreading them because his results with Aston Martin have been very disappointing lately after a brilliant start to the season. It wouldn’t be the first time he used his own domestic press for this’.
