Crash.net considers the knock-on effects of Sergio Perez’s two-year F1 contract extension with Red Bull.
In the team’s press release, Red Bull boss Christian Horner cited the importance of “continuity and stability” heading into F1’s 2026 regulation shake-up and that is exactly what the team now have by offering Perez a two-year contract.
Despite coming under increasing pressure from their F1 rivals of late, Red Bull see no reason to make a change.Sainz, a former Red Bull junior, had been linked with Red Bull as a possible replacement for Perez, with Horner even going as far as to admit that he was in contention. One of those two teams now looks like the most likely landing spot for Sainz, with Mercedes seemingly favouring the idea of promoting their highly-rated teenage prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli from Formula 2.The pair drive for Red Bull’s sister team RB and have both been mooted as options to replace Perez at some point or another.
Tsunoda has held the upper hand over Ricciardo so far this year and can feel somewhat hard done by to not even find himself considered for a Red Bull F1 seat in 2025. Despite being contracted to Red Bull until 2028 and repeatedly insisting that he has no desire or intention to leave, speculation has continued to swirl about Verstappen’s future amid public courting from Mercedes.
