Alpine Signs Sergio Perez Following Departure from Red Bull
In a major development ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season, Alpine has officially confirmed the signing of Sergio Perez following his departure from Red Bull Racing. The announcement has taken the F1 community by surprise, marking a bold move by the French team as they look to strengthen their lineup and challenge further up the grid.
Perez, known for his race-winning experience and tactical brilliance, exits Red Bull after several seasons with the team, where he played a key role in securing Constructors’ Championship points and supporting Max Verstappen. His time at Red Bull was marked by both success and challenges, with increasing pressure due to performance inconsistencies and rising competition within the team.
Alpine’s statement praised Perez’s experience and leadership, emphasizing his potential to help guide the team’s development and race strategy. “We are delighted to welcome Sergio Perez to Alpine. His vast experience, proven racecraft, and determination align perfectly with our ambitions for the coming seasons,” said Bruno Famin, Alpine’s Team Principal.
Perez also expressed optimism about the new chapter in his career. “I’m excited to join Alpine at this stage of their journey. The team has shown clear potential, and I believe we can achieve great things together. I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead,” he said.
With Esteban Ocon expected to remain with the team, the Perez-Ocon pairing promises to bring both consistency and competitiveness to Alpine’s 2025 campaign.
This signing reshapes the F1 driver market and raises questions about who will fill Perez’s vacant seat at Red Bull. It also signals Alpine’s serious intent to move beyond the midfield and contend more aggressively with the top teams in the seasons to come. Fans can expect a fiercely competitive lineup when the new season kicks off.
