Just in: Sergio Perez Under Scrutiny as Re Bull Evaluates Future Lineup for 2025
Red Bull Racing is under mounting pressure due to the widening gap between its drivers, with Max Verstappen having earned 331 points and Sergio Perez trailing far behind at 144 points. This performance disparity has contributed to the team’s loss of the Constructors’ Championship lead to McLaren, with Ferrari closing in just 34 points behind.
Perez’s position has been under increasing scrutiny, and despite being given more chances to improve after the summer break, his performance has been inconsistent. A crash with Carlos Sainz in Baku cost him a possible podium, further compounding the pressure. Red Bull’s move to bring in Liam Lawson as a stand-in for Daniel Ricciardo indicates the team is considering all its options for the 2025 season.
Team principal Christian Horner stressed the importance of evaluating every possibility, as Red Bull expects an even fiercer title race next season. The team cannot afford a large gap between its drivers in 2025, and Perez’s future remains uncertain.
