The topic of Perez’s future has been a recurring topic throughout the F1 2023.

It’s probably no surprise given Perez’s stuttering form, combined wit🌟h the fact he’s driving for the best team in F1.

Perez’s 2023 campaign has been in a similar vein 🍷to his first two with Red Bull.

A decent start before struggling in the European leg of the season and then pulling it bac𒊎k by the time we head to Singapore.

However, recen🌳tly there have been ꦍseveral startling admissions from Helmut Marko about Perez’s position at Red Bull, casting doubt over his immediate future.

While Perez does have a contract for 2024, rumours have been swirling about his future, particularly given the team’s alleged interest in McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

I🐼n a recent intervi𒁏ew with DAZN Espana, Perez revealed for the first time he will look elsewhere if he feels he can’t contribute.

“With the season we have had, it is important to hold the next races in an environment where I feel I can contribute. And [if]🏅 that place for 2024 (likely means 2025) is not here, we will have to look for other alternatives.

“But right now, my main focus is to be here, to w꧟in more races, to keep winning championships with Red Bull. I have a contract until next year and at some point nex𒉰t year we will sit down and talk.”

Before joining Red Bull, Perez was renowned as th🔯e best midfield driver on the grid, great at picking up points and making the most of any opportunity gꦬiven to him on race day.

So which teams could be interested in him?

McLaren

If Perez is replaced by Norris, then McLaren will have a vacancy to fill alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

While Perez woul♐d be a considerable downgrade on Norris, provided Piastri makes the expected progress we all anticipate the Mexican could be an experienced, reliable second drive🐭r alongside the impressive Australian.

Pere🙈z did have a one-year stint with the Woking outfit back in 2013, albeit it ended with him leaving the team at the end of the season.

10 years on, Perez feels that stint with McLaren - under entirely different management to now with Zak 🐻Brown - made him stronger and led him to develop into a dependable midfield competitor.

While McLaren may be aiming for s💮omeone better than Perez, he could be a decent option for a year or two, especially if Piastri grows into a superstar.

Sauber/Audi

Another former team that will likely be interested in𓆏 Perez’s services is Sauber.

Gear𝔍ing up for Audi in 2026, Sauber will be keen to have a st🍌rong driver line-up.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has a contract for 2024 but his long-term future is unclear given it’s unlikely that Audi will꧑ see him as the man to lead them into the new rules cycle.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu has improved during his short F1 career but he’s yet to show signs of ev🗹er being a supers🐼tar.

While Perez is unlikely to be a significant upgrade on pace-wise Bottas, the Mexican’s aggressiveness and wheel-to-wheel prowess make him a better candidate🎃 for a team likely to be in the midfield.

Even better, a Bottas-Perez line-up for 2025 would send Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fans into raptures given the outcome of the head-to-h﷽ead would make or break their agendas.

Williams

A resurgent Williamꦰs could be an exciting prospect for P🌳erez.

Their second seat has been a problem for years with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi and now 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant lagging way behind their respective teammates.

In 2023, Williams are enjoying their best season in six years as they're on course to finish 𒆙seventh in the constructors’ championship.

Given Williams’ upward trajectory, Williams could be an 🍌exciting option for Perez post-Red Bull.

Haas

Guenther Steiner has been consistent in his want for “experience” in a driver - Perez fits that bill pe✨rfectly. 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen’s form continues to be poor so it would be foolish to think that Haas wouldn’t be very interested i⭕n Perez.

However, one stumbling block could be Perez’s salary given he w🥀oܫuld earn significantly less than he is at Red Bull.

Plus, out of all of the teams listed, Haas’ lack of progress makes it ♐an uꦡnattractive proposition for Perez.
