Red Bull's Helmut Marko shuts down ‘made up’ reports about Sergio Perez's F1 contract
It had been suggested that a special performance-related clause in Perez’s contract would🥂 result in the Mexican losing a lot of money.
According to De Telegraaf, the clause states that if Perez falls 125 points or more behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in the world championship, his s🧸alary and bonuses can be reduced.
Verstapp🍒en’s victory last time out at the Belgian Grand Prix moved him exactly 125 points clear of Perez heading into the F1 summer break.
But Red Bull motorsport advisor Marko has denied such a clause exists and descrꩵibed the reports as “completely madꦕe up out of thin air”.
"I don't know where that's coming from agওain," Marko told.
"It's completely made up out of thin ꦚair. The contracts are precisely regulated. There will be no salary cu♛ts.
"Max is driving in a league of h🍒is own. There is theওrefore no reason to think about measures affecting Perez. He still has a contract with Red Bull for 2024.”
Perez is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2024 but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s ♒return at sister team AlphaTauri has amplified the pressure on hi෴m.
Although Perez’s seat is not believed to be under threat f𝔍or 2024, Ricciardo has made it clear he is targeting a Red Bull drive for 2025.
