168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s new two-year Red Bull deal will rep♌ortedly not guarantee him his 2026 seat.

Perez might have hoped that penning an e𒊎xtension to his stay at Red Bull, which was due to end this year, might have quelled speculation over his future.

But the new contract is “🌳1+1=2, so it’s a two-year contract” according to✤ team principal Christian Horner.

He added: “As with any contract, there’s a lot in it, but that’s, of course, between the driver aꦛnd 𝓡the team.”

Sky Sports’ Craig Slater has now reported✃: “Does he have to meet someꦉ performance targets, if he’s to get that second year, though?

“An༒ insider has ๊told me that probably that is the case.”

It effectively means that, alth🎀ough Perez has been given the 2025 F1 s🌌eason, his ‘26 place must be earned again despite it falling within his contract.

It would give Re𝐆d Bull the flexibility to reassess their options again.

Discussion around Max Verstappen’s teammate has resumed after two c💮onsecuti𝔉ve terrible results.

In Monaco and Canada, Perez failed to fi🐻nish the grand🐻s prix.

His crash in Monaco cost Red 🗹Bull $2-3m, Helmut Marko insisted.

Perez has suffered Q1 exits at both of the previous two r🐷aces.

And driving h♉is damaged car back to the pits in Canada has resulted in a three-place grid drop for this weekendඣ’s F1 Spanish Grand Prix.

The problems are mount🀅ing for Perez - coinciding with his new contract.

However, the Mexican dri🍬ver has previously been the ideal foil for Verstappen.

In Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Japan - three o🗹f the first four rounds this season - Perez finished P2, behind Verstappen, delivering the dream result for their employer.
