Sergio Perez has faced scrutiny from the media in recent weeks. Despite bagging a two-year extension from Red Bull, the Mexican driver has failed to deliver results. Now, Perez has addressed his future with the Austrian giant.

Perez is part of Red Bull’s mega run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Mexican driver even drove the Ford ‘Supervan’ up the hill. Red Bull has partnered with Ford to build in-house F1 powertrains for the 2026 F1 regulations.

Moreover, the 34-year-old highlighted that the powertrains project with Ford is massive for the team.

Perez has failed to match expectations at Red Bull this year. It is rumored that Checo’s contract has an exit clause which allows Milton Keynes to sack him if he fails to finish not more than 100 points behind Max Verstappen or is more than five places behind the Dutch driver in the standings.

The last few races have been tough, looking forward to have a straight forward [weekend]. There’re still plenty of races to go, so hopefully we can turn it around and get back to the form we had earlier in the year.
Sergio Perez asserted

Certainly, Sergio Perez remains confident on his future with Red Bull in F1. However, it is clear that the Mexican driver’s tenure is on thin ice. The 34-year-old must improve from the next race to safeguard his career at the pinnacle of motorsport. Fans would be hoping to see Perez potentially fight for victories soon.
