BREAKING F1 NEWS: Checo Perez OUT of Red Bull, Horner Wants Franco Colapinto and More
Recent developments in Formula 1 have intensified speculation about Sergio Perez’s future with Red Bull Racing. Team Principal Christian Horner has acknowledged the need for “difficult decisions” regarding Perez’s position, especially after his underwhelming performance at the Mexican Grand Prix, where he started 18th and finished last due to penalties and collisions.
Amidst this uncertainty, reports have emerged linking Williams driver Franco Colapinto to a potential seat at Red Bull. The 21-year-old Argentine has impressed since his debut at the Italian Grand Prix, leading to speculation about a move. However, Colapinto has dismissed these rumors, stating that he is not in discussions with Red Bull for the 2025 season.
Additionally, Red Bull’s sponsorship landscape is shifting. Telmex, a major sponsor associated with Perez, is reportedly ending its partnership with the team after 2024. This decision coincides with Red Bull’s expanded deal with AT&T, a direct competitor of Telmex.
As the season progresses, Red Bull faces critical decisions regarding its driver lineup and sponsorships, which could significantly impact the team’s strategy moving forward.
