On Thursday afternoon, s🉐ensationally claimed 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 Escudería Telmex - a Mexic😼an 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 - which caught a lot of traction on social media - was quꦚickly downplaღyed by Perez’s PR team.

Luis Alberto Aguirre - who has been part o🐼f Perez’s entourage since 2018 - posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the fabricatedও post.

Perez is under increasing pressur🐼e to keep his Red Bull drive, particul🐼arly for 2025.

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

 Perez picked up three penalti♓es for track limits in Sunday’s race at Losail as he finished behind both Alfa Romeos in P10.

Perez himself has given no indication൩ that he wants to quit F1 though, stating: “This year, my objective is, clꦏearly, to be second place. 

"Nextꦆ ye🌸ar I want to improve and fight for the title, that’s my goal."
