Red Bull have dom𒅌inated F1 since the start o꧙f the new regulations in 2022.

ꦦLast year, they remained unbeaten at 21 of the 2ꦑ2 races - an unprecedented spell of dominance.

While lead driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen put together a remarkable campaign, teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez struggled considerably. 

Consequently, thꦜere have been serious calls forꦕ Red Bull to replace Perez in a bid to make the sport more competitive.

Perez’s contract is up at the end of 2024 - and over half of the grid are🐟 in a similar position to the Mexican with their contಞract expiring.

♐Speaking to Sky Sports, Horner reiterated Red Bull’s position that they will want to keep Perez “if he does well”.

“2024 is a big year. A lot of drivers' contracts are coming to a close. We've got great talent in our own stable. Of course the car💛 is very attractive for other drivers to want to be i🐠n,” he said.

“There's bee♎n a little bit of that [drivers saying they would drive🐼 at Red Bull for free], but there's no guarantees of anything. 

“Checo is our driver. If he does well, we'll want to keepꦕ him for 2025, but it's all about how he perfoꦕrms in relation to his teammate."

Horner has called on Perez to improve his qualifying performances, particularly꧒ as he expects the grid to "converge" in 2024.

"Checo is a very capable racer and being Max's team-mate is a very tough gig," he added. "I think he has shown real mental strength to be able to cope with that. The area he need♏s to focus on is Saturday; making sure that his average qualifying is a lot closer to Max🅘.

"We need him starting further up the g๊rid, particularly if the grid is going to converge. We can't afford𒈔 to have a lot of cars between him and Max."
