Sergio Perez's Exit from Red Bull
Sergio Perez has officially been informed of his exit from Red Bull Racing for the 2025 season, marking the end of his four-year tenure with the team. The decision, which has drawn considerable attention, stems from Red Bull's desire to shift direction regarding their second driver position. Despite having a contract that extended to 2026, the team sought to move on due to Perez's decline in performance, particularly in the latter half of the 2024 season. Complicating matters, Perez's exit has been framed ambiguously, hinting at a potential voluntary departure rather than termination, which has sparked discussion within the racing community about his future options.
