Red Bull's doctor announced that although Sergio Perez has a contract, it is not at all certain that he will fulfill it.
Helmut Marko has publicly stated that next year both teams will only field drivers who have graduated from the Red Bull Junior program. And when Helmut Marko says things like that, words are usually followed by actions. Well, we all know that Sergio Perez is not a Red Bull kid…
"Liam Lawson was brought into the team to see if he or Yuki Tsunoda is the faster driver of the two. I have a guess as to who and where he will be next year, but it also depends a lot on the guys. Yuki has improved a lot, he has learned to control himself, and I like that. Plus, he is predictably fast, he performs well on every track. Plus, we don't want to miss out on the trend of giving young people a chance. There is Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Franco Colapinto... Ideally, Red Bull Racing will also put a young driver on the grid next to Max Verstappen in 2025," Perez said in a statement that sounded pretty shitty when read.
