Sergio Perez has been having a horrendous time behind the wheel of the RB20. Barring the initial few rounds his form has taken a massive dip, and seeing the sacking rumors around him, he is fully determined to get back to his menacing best!
The Hungarian GP weekend has officially begun and Sergio Perez is getting bombarded with questions about his 2025 Red Bull prospects. He has a contract in place but despite this, has been under fire because of his mediocre performances.
Perez is currently sixth in the driver’s championship with only 118 points!
It’s another two races for us that we want to go back to our top form. That’s the main priority for me, for the team. I was back in the factory over the week and that is the main priority for us to get back to the form we had a couple of races ago. That’s really it.Sergio Perez via Pitdebrief
Looking at the reaction of the six-time Grand Prix winner, it is quite clear that he is fully aware of his delicate situation in F1. Recently, the lights of Daniel Ricciardo, Yuki Tsunoda, and even junior driver, Liam Lawson have been linked with Perez’s 2025 Red Bull seat.
Sergio Perez confident about staying at Red Bull for 2025
While Perez has admitted that he is focused on delivering solid results before the summer break, he has also specifically talked about his F1 future. The Mexican genuinely feels he will be a Red Bull driver during the 2025 season.
Perez has been making his trade with the Milton-Keynes-based team since 2021.
I’m fully focused to fully deliver. I will be here and here again next year and that’s nothing different. I’m just fully committed to myself.Sergio Perez said in the same interview
The 2024 F1 season has 12 races remaining on the calendar. Red Bull expects Sergio Perez to put in performances close to his world-champion teammate, Max Verstappen, but keeping in view the former’s lackluster form, it seems very unlikely that he would be able to do so. The ongoing Hungarian race weekend has the potential to make or break Perez’s season.
