Red Bull boss Christian Horner is adamant that Sergio Perez does not need to finish second in the Formula 1 drivers’ championship this year to keep his seat in 2024.
Perez has faced his fair share of difficulties as Max Verstappen's team-mate throughout 2023, and he has failed to win a race in the dominant RB19 since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. His struggles have at times prompted questions about Red Bull potentially trying to find a way to terminate the contract he has for 2024 and slot a replacement in.
' Horner said that Red Bull wanted nothing more than to see Perez return to the kind of form he showed earlier in the year when he was battling Verstappen for wins in the opening phase of the campaign. 'We know Checo,' he said. 'If you see Checo's performances in the first part of the year: Bahrain, was very, very tight with Max. The race in Saudi, it was a great race between the two of them pushing each other really hard, with very fine margins.
