Red Bull driver Sergio Perez said a strong performance at his home Mexican Grand Prix this weekend will turn around his poor form this season, which has sparked speculation about his future with the team.

Sergio Perez admits he has had a “terrible season” as speculation continues over his future at Red Bull. Perez is eighth in the drivers’ standings – 204 points behind team-mate Max Verstappen – and his highest finish in the last 13 races is sixth.

Now, Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has confirmed that they are considering replacing Perez for 2025, hinting that his contract could be terminated prematurely. "Perez may have a contract, but Formula 1 is a meritocracy," Marko said to F1 Insider.
