BREAKING NEWS:Red Bull Racing Team Dismisses…read more.
Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner, has weighed in on speculation regarding a potential early driver replacement within the team. As the 2025 Formula 1 season gains momentum, questions have arisen about the performance of Sergio Pérez, who is under pressure to deliver consistent results alongside reigning world champion Max Verstappen.
In a recent interview, Horner dismissed rumors of an imminent change, reaffirming the team’s commitment to its current lineup. “Right now, our focus is on extracting the maximum performance from both drivers. Sergio has shown strong pace, and we believe he can continue to contribute to the team’s success,” he stated.
However, with Red Bull’s junior team, Visa Cash App RB (formerly AlphaTauri), producing promising talents like Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo, speculation continues about potential mid-season changes. Pérez, whose contract expires at the end of 2025, faces mounting pressure to maintain his seat amidst growing competition.
Despite Horner’s assurances, Red Bull has a history of making bold driver swaps mid-season, as seen in past changes involving Pierre Gasly and Alexander Albon. Should Pérez struggle to meet expectations, the team may reevaluate its options.
For now, Red Bull remains focused on securing another championship and maximizing its car’s potential. While no immediate driver changes are planned, the high-stakes environment of Formula 1 means anything can happen as the season progresses.
