The continuity of the Mexican driver could be assured for 2024 and 2025 in F1
Checo Perez finished in second place in the 2023 F1 season, however, his relationship with his teammate Max Verstappen and comments from the Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko led many to believe his place was not secure for the upcoming seasons.
It has been announced that the team in which the current world champion drives is in negotiations to keep Checo on its roster.

All this comes after several rumors during the last two years in which the Mexican driver saw that his place with Red Bull was in danger. But this could bring peace of mind to his career as a professional.

According to what was reported by Total Motorsport this weekend, Checo Perez is close to signing his contract extension with Red Bull Racing for the next two seasons.
This means that the driver’s place would be assured, at least, until the end of the 2025 campaign. They only need to sit down to negotiate before the end of this year to start planning what 2024 will be like, both for Checo and his teammate, Max Emilian Verstappen.

It would be great news for Perez’s performance, since beyond the problems he had in several races throughout the recently finished F1 season, he was able to finish ahead of two motor racing legends, such as Mercedes’ driver Lewis Hamilton and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso; he also left behind the dangerous Ferrari of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
Checo Perez wants to be more competitive in F1
At the same time that these alleged negotiations to extend his contract crystallize, it is also important to emphasize that the Mexican driver’s interest is to be able to compete for the Formula 1 championship.

Although it seems more than impossible that his own team will give him the necessary tools to overthrow Verstappen, at least Checo Perez would like to have a more suitable car to avoid the difficulties he had during the 2023 campaign.
Although he finished in second place overall, the reality is that he had quite a few setbacks during some of the qualifying and Grand Prix races.
In the end, it is expected that as soon as the information of his possible renewal and contract extension becomes official, both Sergio Perez and Red Bull Racing will make it official so that their fans around the world can rest assured that they will continue to be highly competitive for the following 2 Formula 1 seasons.
