The topic of Perez’s future has been a recurring topic throughout the F1 2023.

It’s probably no surprise given Perez’s stuttering form, combined with the fact he’🐎s driving for the best team in F1.

Perez’s 2023 campaign has beeܫn in a similar 𒆙vein to his first two with Red Bull.

A decent start before struggling in the European leg of th🦹e season and then pulling it back by the time we head to Singapore.

However, recently there have been several startling admissions from Helmut Marko about Perez’s position at Red Bull, casting 𓆏doubt over his immediate future.

While Perez does have a contract for 2024, rumours have been swirling about his future, particularly given the team’s alleged interest in McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

In a recent interview with DAZN Espana, Perez revealed for the first time he wi𝐆ll look elsewhere if he feels he can’t contribute✱.

“With the season we have had, it is important to hold the next races in an environment whe♓re I feel I can contribute. And [if] that place for 2024 (likely means 2025) is not here, we will have to look for other alternaﷺtives.

“But right now, my main focus is to be here, to win more races, to keep winning🍬 championships with Red Bull. I have a contract until next year and at some point next year we will sit down and talk.”

Before joining ༺Red Bull, Perez was renowned as the best midfield driver on the grid, great at picking up points and making the most of any opportunity given to him on race day.

So which teams could be interested in him?

McLaren

If Perez is replaced by Norris, then McLaren will have a vacancy to fill alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri.

While Perez would 🐼be a considerable downgrade on Norris, provided Piastri makes the expected progress we all anticipate the Mexican could be an experienced, reliable second driver alongside the impressive Australian.

Perez did have a one-year stint with the Woking outfiꦓt back in 2013, albeit it ended with him leaving the 🐬team at the end of the season.

10 years on, Perez fe🐻els that stint with McLaren - under entirely different management to now with Zak Brownജ - made him stronger and led him to develop into a dependable midfield competitor.

While McL꧒aren may be aiming for someone better than Perez, he could be a decent option for a year or two, especially if Piastri grows into a superstar.

Sauber/Audi

Another former team thꦗat will likely be interested in P♕erez’s services is Sauber.

Gearing up for Audi in 2026, Sauber will be keen to 🥂have a strong driver line-up.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas has a contract for 2024 but his long-term future is unclear given it’s unlikely that Audi will see෴ him as the man to lead them into the new rules cycle.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu has improved during his short F1 career but he’s yet to show๊ signs of ever being a superstar.

While Perez is unlikely to be a significant upgrade o🍎n pace-wise Bottas, the Mexican’s aggressivene⭕ss and wheel-to-wheel prowess make him a better candidate for a team likely to be in the midfield.

Even better, a Bottas-Perez line-ဣup for 2025 would 🌠send Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fans into raptures given the outcome of the head-to-head would make or break their agendas.

Williams

ꦺ🎉A resurgent Williams could be an exciting prospect for Perez.

Their second seat has been a problem for years with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicholas Latifi and now 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant lagging way behind their respective teammates.

In 2023, Williams🧸 are enjoying their best season in six years as they're on course to finish seventh in the construct꧋ors’ championship.

Given Williams’ upward trajectory, Williams could be an exciting option for Perez post-Red Bꦏull.

Haas

Guenther Steiner has been consistent in hi൲s want for “experience” in a driver - Perez fits that bill perfectly. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen’s form continues to be poor so it would be foolish to think that Haas wouಞldn’t be very interested in Perജez.

However, one stumbling block could be Perez’s salary given he 📖would earn significantly less than he is꧒ at Red Bull.

Plus, out of all of the teams listed, Haas’ lack of progress make꧋s it 🐬an unattractive proposition for Perez.
