BREAKING NEWS: Sergio Perez’s Father Confirms Red Bull Future with Sacking Rumors

As Sergio Perez faces mounting criticism for his underwhelming 2024 Formula 1 season, his father, Antonio Perez, has delivered a shocking statement about his son’s future with Red Bull Racing. Despite widespread speculation that the Mexican driver is on the brink of losing his seat, Perez Sr. insists his son will remain with the team for the next two years, adding that Sergio plans to retire at Red Bull.


“Perez Sr.: My Son Will Retire with Red Bull”

Amid ongoing rumors of Sergio Perez’s potential dismissal following a disappointing season, Antonio Perez expressed unwavering confidence in his son’s abilities and future with Red Bull.

“He will be there for the next two years,” Perez Sr. said. “He said it, he plans to retire at Red Bull. They gave him the chance.”

This bold claim counters growing chatter that Perez’s time with the team is nearing its end, especially as Red Bull prepares for major restructuring following a Constructors’ Championship defeat in 2024.


“Contract Extension Under Scrutiny”

Red Bull extended Perez’s contract mid-season, despite a string of lackluster performances. However, the 34-year-old’s struggles have put him at risk of losing his seat, particularly if he fails to deliver in the final three races of the season.

While Red Bull has publicly backed Perez, the extension could reportedly be terminated if his results don’t improve, leaving the door open for younger, highly-talented drivers eager to join the championship-winning team.


“Perez Sr. Defends His Son, Blasts Critics”

Antonio Perez also called out those who prematurely speculated about his son’s departure, demanding public apologies from naysayers.

“Those who said he would announce his farewell should at least apologize,” Perez Sr. declared. “Red Bull is the most professional team at the moment, the world championship team. They do everything they can to return to the lead—not only with Checo’s car but also with Max Verstappen.”

Perez Sr. also emphasized Red Bull’s commitment to a teamwide restructuring at the end of the year, aimed at regaining dominance in 2025.


“A Fight for Redemption”

Despite Perez’s father’s optimism, the Mexican driver faces immense pressure. His underperformance is a significant reason why Red Bull lost the Constructors’ Championship in 2024, despite Max Verstappen’s brilliance. Perez must show considerable improvement to secure his seat for 2025, especially with a crop of talented young drivers eyeing a spot at Red Bull.


“The Road Ahead for Perez”

With three races left in the 2024 season, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Perez. While his father’s comments provide a glimpse of hope, the ultimate decision will rest with Red Bull’s leadership, who have consistently shown they prioritize performance above all else. For Perez, it’s now or never—either deliver results or face the possibility of an unceremonious exit from the team.
