“Insider” information suggests Sergio Perez’s 2026 seat is not safe, after all…
Is 2026 a guarantee for Sergio Perez?

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s new two-year Red Bull deal will reportedly not gua🔯rantee hi💫m his 2026 seat.
Perez might have hoped that penning an extension to h♑is stay at Red Bull, which was due to end thiﷺs year, might have quelled speculation over his future.
But the new contract is “𝔉1+1=2, so it’s a two-year contract” according to team principal Christian Ho♛rner.
He added: “As with any contract, there’s a lot in it, but that’s, of course, between෴ the dr♏iver and the team.”
Sky Sports’ Craig Slater has now reported: “Does he have to meet some perf𝓀ormance targets, if he’s to get that second year, though?
“An insider has told me that probably t⭕ha💫t is the case.”
It effectively means that, although Perez has been given the 2025 F1 s⛦eason, his ‘26 place must be earned again despite it falling within his contract.
It would give Red Bull the flexibi🅰lity to reassess their options again.
Discussion around Max Verstappen’s teammate has resume🦂d after two consecutive terrible results.
In Monaco and Canada, Perez failed to finish the grands pr😼ix.
His crash in Monaco cost Red Bull $2-3m, Helmut Marko insi꧒sted.
Pe🐼rez has suffered 🉐Q1 exits at both of the previous two races.
And driving his damaged car back to the pits in Canada has resulted in a three-p🍬lace grid drop for this weekend’s F1 Spanish Gꦺrand Prix.
The problems are mounting fo🎉r Perez - coinciding with his new con𓆉tract.
However, the Mexican driver has p𝓡reviously been the ideal foil for Verstappen.
In Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and J🎃apan - three of the first four rounds this season - Perez finished P2, b𝓀ehind Verstappen, delivering the dream result for their employer.
