On Thursday afternoꦬon, sensationally c🐲laimed that Perez’s F1 career would be set to come to an end in Abu Dhabi next month.

The post stated that a high-profile member of Escu🌱dería Telmex - a Mexican company that has been closely aligned to key motorsport talents such as Perez - informed them of Red Bull’s decision to replace him for 2024.

Unexpectedly, the story - whic🎶h caught a lot of tract🐷ion on social media - was quickly downplayed by Perez’s PR team.

Luis Alberto Aguirre - who has been part of Pe🐈rez’s entourage since 2018 - posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the fabricated post.

Perez ♊is under increasing pressure to keep his Red Bull drive, particularly for 2025.

While he does have a contract for 2024, his form continues to nose drive as he strꦑuggled once again in Qatar.

 Perez picked up thr𝓡ee penalties for track limits in Sunday’s race at Losail as he finished behind both Alfa Romeos in 𓂃P10.

Perez himself has given no indication tꦏhat he wants to quit Fಌ1 though, stating: “This year, my objective is, clearly, to be second place. 

"Next year I wan⛄t to improve and fight for the title, that’s my goal🗹."
