Perez currently sits 39 points ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the drive꧙rs’ standings with 💛four rounds remaining.

Thಌe Mexican’s grip on P2 strengthened after Hamilton’s disqualification at the Circuit of t🌜he Americas.

It was a timely boost for Perez, who has been subject to iꩵntense media pressure and reports in ♌recent races.

It’s been suggested that Red Bull will lo꧅ok to replace Perez if he doesn’t hold onto second in the championship.

However, Horner has b🐬een quick to down🌠play this claim.

"There's no pre-mandate like that,” he said.

"We've never finished first and second in a championship. We've finished first and third a few times with Mark [Webber] and Sebastian [Vettel] and we did it last y💧ear with Max and Checo. 

"🉐With this car it'll be fantastic for in such a season that we've had to finish it🃏 first and second. 

"But there's no pre-mandate on Checo that says 'You have to f♎inish second or you won't be driving the car next year' that's never been discussed.”

Looking ahead to 2025, ไHorner admitted Red Bull won’t be “short of options”.

"We're certainly not short of options [for the 20🐓꧋25 seat]," said Horner. 

"Of courseꩲ we've got plenty of plenty of time to look and evaluate that. But there are𝐆 so many factors involved in that."
