Red Bull driver Sergio Perez responds to journalists’ questions as to whether the Mexican can secure his Red Bull seat for the next year he finishes this year P2. The question came from a senior Sky Sports F1 presenter, Ted Kravitz. Kravitz thinks the Mexican is losing his seat to the AlphaTauri driver Daniel Ricciardo for the next season.
However, responding to the question, Perez seems confident about his Red Bull seat. He shed light on his confidence in the contract that binds him with the team until the end of the 2024 season. Perez joined the team in 2021, signing a two-year contract and extending it for two more years.
In his recent interview, where he responded to Kravitz’s question, Perez admitted these rumors can not be tolerated, especially from those who have been in the paddock for years. He claimed that the team is very confident in him and supports him during his rough patch. Perez says everything is clear and supportive within the team.
If that’s what the journalists want to say and write. Apparently it is just a rumor. For me, I have a contract, everything is clear regardless of where I end up in the season. But, rumors are rumors.
