Christian Horner says Red Bull will let 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez “come to his own conclusions” about his F1 future with the team.

The pressure has continued to pile on Perez after he endured another torrid weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix, which ended in retirement after a spin. That came 24 hours after Redജ Bull were left baffled by the Mexican’s botched start from the pit lane in the sprint race.

Perez is under contract for 2025 but his future is set to be discussed during a meeting of key Red Bull sha𝓰reholders following the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix next week.

“Look, Checo has had a very tough year. Obv♌iously the points table are what they are,” Red Bull team principal Horner told media including after Sunday’s race in Qatar.

“We’re very much focused on really supporting him to the checkered flag in Abu Dhabi. Obviously it’s not an enjoya🔴ble situation for Checo, being in this position with speculation every week.

“He’s old enough and wise enough to k🤪now what the situation is, and yeah, let’s see where we are after Abu Dhabi.”

When asked by to clarify whether he meant Red Bull will leave the decision down to Perez, Horner said: “I’m going to let Checo come to his own concl🍸usions.

“No✨body’s forcing him one way or another, I’m going to let him… it’s not a niಌce situation for him to obviously be in.”

Pushed on what Red Bull would do if Perez decided that he wanted to stay, as per his contract, Horner replied: “Let’s get to the end of Abu Dhabi and sღee where we’re at.”

Red Bull hold Perez in ‘highest of regards’

During his four seasons with Red Bull, Perez has claimed five grand p🏅rix victories and helped th🔯e team clinch back-to-back constructors’ world titles in 2022 and 2023.

But a terrible run of form this season, combined with increased competition from rivals, has seen Red Bull slip to third behind McLaren💃 and Ferrari in the teams’ standings, only further increasing the press🀅ure on Perez.

“Checo’s contributed a huge amount to this team in the four years he’s been here,” Horner added. “The world championship🌜 Max achieved in 2021, the Constructors’ championships in 22ꦛ and 23.

“Obviously this year’s been particularly hard, he’s won five grands prix for us, and he’s had some outstanding performances in races like Singapore, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, t🐓o🧔 name but a few.

“Everybody holds Checo in the highest of regard🔴s and respect, but obviouslyꦯ the situation we’re in is as painful for him as it is for the team.”
