Red Bull Reveals Shocking Perez Agreement Amid Comeback Speculation
In a surprising development, Sergio Perez is reportedly set to maintain ties with Red Bull in a marketing role, following his departure from the team at the end of the 2024 season. The Mexican driver, who struggled with form throughout the season, was replaced by rising star Liam Lawson for the 2025 Formula 1 campaign.
Perez’s final year with Red Bull was marred by inconsistency, despite a promising start. While the 34-year-old secured some solid results early on, his struggles with the RB20 became evident as the season progressed. Frequent difficulties in qualifying—failing to advance past Q1 on multiple occasions—cost the team critical points in the Constructors’ Championship. Ultimately, Red Bull management decided to part ways with Perez after the team finished third in the standings, a rare underachievement for the dominant force in recent years.
The decision to drop Perez overshadowed some of the highlights of his career, including his historic victories at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix and the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix. Nevertheless, the former Red Bull driver’s legacy remains intact, and his popularity within the paddock has not wavered.
In a recent episode of the Formula for Success Podcast, ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard revealed that Perez will continue to be associated with Red Bull, though not as a driver. “If it were a contest of personality or popularity, he’d still be in the car. He’s a fantastic person and has achieved a lot in the sport,” Coulthard explained. “But last season, he couldn’t match Max [Verstappen], and it cost the team valuable points.”
Coulthard went on to confirm that Perez and Red Bull have reached an agreement ensuring his continued involvement with the brand, albeit in a non-driving capacity. While specific details of the role remain unclear, this move underscores Red Bull’s recognition of Perez’s contributions both on and off the track.
The development has fueled speculation about whether Perez could make a racing comeback in the future. For now, his next chapter with Red Bull appears to be focused on leveraging his marketability and global appeal, ensuring his lasting presence in the world of Formula 1.
