A serious warning to Mr. Horner and Mr. “Czech” Perez: “He is the one who could lose his seat.”
2023 was a year to forget Sergio “Czech” Perez From a sports perspective, no one doubts that. Although they finished as world runners-up last season, max verstappen, his teammate at Red Bull was so good that he doubled him in points. On top of that, The Dutch had 19 wins, while the Mexicans had only two. With the car that was clearly the best on the grid. His continuity was questioned throughout the year, but his contract runs until 2024. Everything after that is a mystery now.All you have to do is listen to the words of Christian Horner.
“Czeco works better when he’s under pressure, and that’s what we’ve seen from him during his time with us. He’s in that seat, it’s to lose his seat, and I don’t think there’s anything preordained for 2025.And we need him to be at full speed for next year’s 24 races in order to accumulate points and win wins,” declared the Austrian coach.
“The Czech is at his best when under pressure, and that’s what we saw in his time with us.“Next season will be the Mexican’s fourth year with Red Bull, but he must improve his performance so that the other teams are far apart from the Milton Keynes team. “We want McLaren to step up. We’ve seen Aston Martin come on the scene earlier this year, we’ve seen Mercedes be competitive at times, Ferrari too, they’re all very, very valuable. It’s a talented team.”
Ricardo and Lawson waiting their turn
As Horner says, it’s not unreasonable to think that Verstappen’s team-mates at Red Bull could change in the near future, or sooner rather than later. It will be necessary to see which drivers are eyeing the future of the “Czech”.
on the one hand, Daniel Ricciardo returns to energy drink brand with AlphaTauri. This “subsidiary” came to the rescue of the Australian, who was on hiatus after his contract with McLaren was not renewed in mid-2023. The 34-year-old Australian makes no secret that his current goal is to return to a top team like Red Bull.He quit shotgunning in 2019
On the other hand, there are names like: Liam Lawson. The Australian started in Zandvoort in place of the injured Ricciardo and played a more than worthy role in the four races. He was able to advance to Q3 in his third race and score his first two points at the Singapore Grand Prix.. Although he remained a reserve driver, he has already made it clear that he is ready for a big opportunity.

In 2026, large-scale rule changes will be introduced in Formula 1, which will introduce not only new aerodynamics of cars, but also a radical update of power plants.
In this context, Renault decided to suspend the development of its own engines. At the same time, new manufacturers have emerged in Formula 1: Audi and Honda have returned to Aston Martin, Cadillac will launch with its own units in 2028, and Red Bull has received technical support from Ford.
Before the start of the season and the first tests, most of the discussions are about engines. Ford, Red Bull and Mercedes have reportedly found a solution to compress the engine, which is expected to provide an advantage of up to 0.3 seconds per lap.
Against the background of all this, the season of team presentations begins, where updated liveries will be shown, and maybe someone will show off a full-fledged car before leaving the track. Red Bull will be the first team: today, December 16, they will present the colors together with their sister team Racing Bulls.
Before the official release, the team attracted the attention of fans by showing the first photo of the Red Bull-Ford joint engine, the first of its kind, on social networks. Specific technical details are not yet visible, but the team logo attracts attention.
The 2026 season presentation of the Red Bull car will be held in Detroit (USA) at 05:00 Kiev time.

1996 Formula 1 champion Damon Hill expressed his confidence in Lando Norris, believing that the British driver can win three or four championships during his career after his success last month.
Norris finished the 2025 season at the top of the standings, finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This earned him a place on a list of world champions that includes only 35 drivers. It’s even rarer for a driver to win more than one championship, but Hill is confident Norris can extend his achievements to four or five trophies.
“He did that, and that provides a certain peace of mind,” Hill said.
“He will be able to relax to a certain degree. It all depends on your desire to win.”
I always thought it would be enough for Michael (Schumacher) to win one, two, three, four, five championships, but he went on to win one or two more championships.On the contrary, some people become more motivated and pursue new titles. I definitely think Lando is capable of multiple championships. “I think there are three or four more left.”
