On Thursday afternoon, sensationally claimed that Perez’s F1 career would be set to come to✨ a♐n end in Abu Dhabi next month.

The post stated that a high-profile member of Escudería Telmex - a Mexican company that has been closely aligned to key motorsport taﷺlents such as Perez - informed them of Red Bull’s dec🎃ision to replace him for 2024.

Unexpectedl꧅y, the story - which caught a lot of traction on social media - was quickly downplayed by𝓀 Perez’s PR team.

Luis Alberto Aguirre - who has been part of Perez’s entourage since 2018 - pos♛ted on X (formerly Twitter) i꧅n response to the fabricated post.

Perez is under increasiꦐng pressure🐷 to keep his Red Bull drive, particularly for 2025.

While he does have a contract for 2024, his form continues to nose 🐎drive as he struggled once again in Qatar.

 Perez picked up three penalties for track limits in Sunday’s race at Losail as he finished behind ♉both Alfa Romeos in P10.

Perez himself has given no indication that he wants to quit F1 though, stating: “🧸This yearܫ, my objective is, clearly, to be second place. 

"Next year I want to imp🐈rove and fight for the title, that’s my goal."
