Sergio Perez's CRAZY REJECTION Has HUGE IMPACT On Driver Market!

Rumours about Sergio Perez’s future with Red Bull have been non-stop as the Mexican driver has constantly struggled to match up to his teammate on track. Battling Max Verstappen at Red Bull is no easy task but with their challengers starting to close the performance gap, having a driver who can fight for podiums in the second seat is vital. Red Bull think they have a driver that can do that but their rejection of Red Bull’s offer could send shockwaves through the driver market. Is Sergio Perez’s rejection of Red Bull going to rock the team? And if Checo isn’t interested in staying with the team, who do they go for now? Well let’s check it out.

[@aldom5191]

Really! 1) Red Bull does not want Sergio or any other driver to match Verstappen. That is evident. 2) Red Bull had tried other drivers. Good drivers. Any of them was able to perform a decent level under the second seat circumstances. 3) Red Bull is not a charity institution. If they still have Sergio as part of the team it is for a Cristal clear reason. He has done the job they ask him after all. 4) Sergio is not crazy, he’s been a F1 driver for more than a decade. Therefore he knows enough about it. If he is not accepting the contract it is because he knows that It isn’t the best for him and he may have a B plan.

[@breathofawareness7903]

Even Nico and Bottas took the race to Lewis and got a few wins (and one WDC). At least Webber with Seb and Danny with Max were both willing to have a good, hard go at the team golden boy. Not just roll over for Max to rub his belly. The closest Perez has come to that was locking up into the first corner and nearly wiping out the back of Max’ car.

[@Peachrocks5]

Mark after 2010 not so much, even before that even though Mark was in contention, it was painfully obvious Red Bull did not want him to win, you can't win titles without your team wanting you to have them. Broke my heart to see what happened to him and everyone else except for a few years with Riccardo with Vettel then Kyvat and two with Verstappen. After those two years though, even Riccardo was basically forced to roll over. Red Bull don't want the second driver to contest no matter how much they say otherwise. It doesn't matter who you put in that second car now, the result will be the same. I really despise Red Bull and how they see people and it's not limited to drivers either. The only thing good about Mercedes dominance was that it wasn't Red Bull.

If they put someone better than Checo in the car, like Sainz or Albon (is Albon better? I dunno.) Max might not like the pressure. We saw how testy he (and Jos) got the past two years the moment that Checo was close in the point standings and winning races. Checo's performance has dipped since then, but he's still good enough in a great car to help win the constructor's championship. Red Bull might want someone better but not willing to draw the ire of Max because anyone better isn't going to be willing to just take Max's table scraps.

Pure lies

[@Clipper_EBS]

Sainz will be announced as new Red Bull driver for 2025 later this year. Mark my words.

[@EntropicExergy]

Nope, he isn't going to RB, they don't want him and his dad whining for losing to Max all the time.

[@PixeRebelz-xn4vx]

i would send him home a long time ago!!! he wants to seat and roll... nice guy but no way clse to a winning driver sooooorrrrryyyyyyy!!!!! if you just hear checo post races i would sAY THAT THERE IS 2 REDBULL TEAMS INSIDE, ONE THE CAR AND DRIVER IS WINNING MATERIAL AND ON CHECO SIDE THE "TEAM" NEEDS TO IMPROVE THE CAR AND IMPROVE THE SETUP BLABLABLA...

Jos Verstappen won't let anyone compete with Max. Checo won two races at the beginning of 2023. Suddenly his car has issues and he no longer winning. Doesn't matter who's second driver at RB. Jos is in the driver seat.

[@reddwarf666]

There is only 1 person f*cking Checo over and that is...drumroll...Checo.

[@pooky2626]

@@reddwarf666 After the last few races... I take back my defending Checo. He's a disaster lately.

speculation blah blah what if blah blah, useless video

[@alanserjeant4947]

But you choose to comment ?

[@Kiwi_Dave]

Not good enough, never was and never will be. Only reason he even got that seat to start with was to tick the diversity box.

[@lukilladog]

Red bull races only with 1 car, everybody knows that. Pérez should move to a team where he is appreciated and doesn't bother the hypejobs... he isn't given recognition for sub-championships anyway.
