In the week before the US Grand Prix, the press discussed rumors that Sergio Perez could lose his seat at Red Bull Racing for next season if he does not finish second in the individual standings in 2023. The head of the championship team, Christian Horner, has already denied such reports, and in Austin a Mexican racer commented on them.
“I can’t do anything to stop these rumors from spreading, so I just laugh about it,” Racingnews365 quotes Sergio Perez. “I’m completely focused on my work, but stories like this really describe how my season is going. Someone says something about me and then it suddenly turns out to be true.
I have a contract for next season and I have no reason not to fulfill it. I will do my best because I have made a commitment. Moreover, the current contract will not be my last contract in Formula 1.
I drive for Red Bull and I want to stay with Red Bull – and that is fair for both parties. I enjoy the moment to the fullest and I enjoy the challenge of overcoming current problems. I’m 33 years old and still have a few years left [в Формуле 1]. Like every athlete, I want to get the most out of my career. That’s important to me and that’s what I’m focusing on.”
When asked if he was confident he would stay with Red Bull next year, Perez replied briefly: “100%.”
