As Sergio Perez and Red Bull’s path will divide at the end of the year, team principal Christian Horner thanked the Mexican for the great work he has done for the team.

Perez didn’t have an easy campaign in 2024 with Red Bull, which led to them going their separate ways. Despite that, Horner wanted to spend a few words thanking Perez for the incredible contribution he has given, which helped the Milton Keynes outfit reach great results.

“I would like to thank Checo for all he has done for Oracle Red Bull Racing over the past four seasons.

“From the moment he joined in 2021, he proved himself to be an extraordinary Team player, helping us to two Constructors’ titles and to our first 1-2 finish in the Drivers’ championship. His five wins, all on street circuits, were also a spectacular mark of his determination to always push to the limit.

“While Checo will not race for the Team next season, he will always be an extremely popular Team member and a treasured part of our history. Thank you, Checo.”

Horner will now probably work with the outfit and other important elements to decide who is the most suitable driver to replace the Mexican in the future alongside Max Verstappen.
