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.
