Perez’s F1 Comeback Given Significant Boost by Team Boss
Sergio Perez’s prospects for remaining in Formula 1 have received a significant boost following strong public backing from a senior team figure. Amid swirling rumors about his long-term future at Red Bull and speculation surrounding potential moves to other teams, Perez has now been given a vote of confidence that could play a vital role in securing his place on the grid beyond 2025.
The Mexican driver, currently in his fifth season with Red Bull Racing, has had a mixed campaign, showing flashes of brilliance alongside moments of inconsistency. Despite this, his overall contribution to the team’s ongoing championship efforts hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Red Bull’s leadership acknowledging his value as both a skilled racer and a dependable second driver to Max Verstappen.
Speaking to the media, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner praised Perez’s recent performances and hinted that the team is open to extending his stay. “Checo has delivered when it matters and continues to be an important part of our success,” Horner said. “He’s a key figure in the team, and his experience is something we value highly.”
This public show of support comes at a crucial time for Perez, as contract discussions across the paddock begin to ramp up ahead of the 2026 regulation overhaul. With several driver seats likely to open up and new teams like Andretti-Cadillac preparing for a possible F1 debut, the market is heating up—making team endorsements more critical than ever.
Perez himself has remained focused on the current season, downplaying speculation about his future. “My goal is to keep performing at the highest level. The rest will take care of itself,” he recently stated.
The backing from Horner and Red Bull could prove pivotal in silencing critics and strengthening Perez’s negotiating position—whether for a renewed contract with the Milton Keynes-based outfit or a potential switch to another team. As the season progresses, his consistency and ability to contribute to Red Bull’s title ambitions will likely be key factors in determining where he races in 2026.
