The director of the team Red Bull, Christian Hornerassured that the only pilots they have in mind to replace Sergio “Checo” Pérez are the Japanese Yuki Tsunoda and the British Liam Lawson and who Franco Colapinto It is not in your consideration for the next season of the Formula 1.
“I think Yuki has done a good job, so in case something was decided with Checo, they would be the candidates we would look at”expressed Horner in an interview for the official Formula 1 channel.
However, the Red Bull director has not yet assured that the Mexican will be replaced: “We will sit down with him and reflect on the season and, obviously, where it went wrong and we will collectively resolve what is the correct and appropriate path to follow. No “There is an immediate rush.”
“Sitting here now, he is still our driver, so it would be wrong for me to speculate on what next year will be like until he and I have sat down.”Horner explained.
Despite this doubt, Horner knows that they need to be consistent: “Two drivers who collectively and regularly score points in the constructors’ championship. For us it is very important that our two drivers are delivering and that there is not a significant gap.”
Thus, everything indicates that his options are reduced to being Williams’ reserve driver for 2025 (Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon will be the starters) or waiting for the decision of Alpine about Jack Doohan, who does not enjoy the trust of Flavio Briatore, a historic man of power in the French team.
