Red Bull Team Principal has revealed details regarding Sergio Perez’s contract extension with the Milton Keynes-based Formula 1 outfit, hinting at flexibility in favour of the team. Amid a poor run of form, Red Bull announced last Tuesday ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix that Perez had won a two-year extension at Red Bull, ending […]

Not only did the Red Bull Team Principal say in the official announcement that “Now is an important time to confirm our line-up for 2025,” but his further comments to Viaplay clarified the nature of the contract.

“Well, 1+1=2, so it’s a two-year contract,” Horner said.

“As with any contract, there’s a lot in it, but that’s, of course, between the driver and the team.”

With Perez’s extension coming amid a bad run of form, which continued post-announcement with a Q1 exit and DNF in Canada, he must turn his fortunes around to ensure his 2026 season in Red Bull colours comes to fruition.
