‘Checo’ Pérez and the pilots who aspire to his seat will have a final race to convince the shareholders of Red Bull.
The Mexican never held his head high and sank again in Qatar on the spin due to an engine problem that forced him to retire. “You are not enjoying your current situation. He knows the pressures of this business, and we will give him all the support we can until the checkered flag in Abu Dhabi. And what you decide to do, that will be your decision. “I think he’s old and wise enough to come to his own conclusions.”said Horner, Red Bull’s Team Principal, on ‘Sky Sports’.
The Briton therefore leaves the door open for the Mexican to decide not to continue before shareholders meet on Monday to decide who will sit alongside Verstappen in 2025. “It’s disappointing that he abandoned it. Now with one career left, hopefully he will do it positively. Nobody wants to see him retire like that.”he said to ‘DAZN’, raising doubts as to whether he was referring to abandonment or a possible definitive withdrawal.
Lawson or Tsunoda play that wheel
To change your place it will ring Franco Colapinto (Williams), but Horner pointed out that the decision could promote a young man from his pilot academy: Lawson either Tsunoda (RB). “There will be a meeting on the Monday after Abu Dhabi and all the important people will be there, all the shareholders, and a decision will be made there”the Austrian told ‘Viaplay’.
“We have always brought our own drivers through the Red Bull program and I think it is a philosophical decision: do we continue there? And what the shareholders told me is that it will be in this direction “he argued, suggesting that Colapinto could not be removed.
Later, he became more clear about it in statements collected by ‘Motorsport.com’: “He is undoubtedly a talent who wants to earn a place in F1. “We have a great pool of talent, and I’m sure he will find his place on the grid in the future.”. In F1 anything can happen and everything can change from one day to the next. But Red Bull seems to have closed the door on the young Argentine.
