F1 owners Liberty Media reportedly asked Red Bull to reconsider dropping 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez mid-season amid fears of a drop in rev🌊enue at the Mexico City Grand Prix.

According to , Liberty Media “asked Red Bull” to keep Perez alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to ensure the Mexico City GP in Oct🅷ober remains popul🌊ar.

They claim: “What 🦹was leaked behind the scenes: Formula 1 rights holder Liberty Media asked Red Bull to reconsider Perez’s dismissal.

“Without the popular h🙈ero Perez, they feared an extreme drop in revenue at the Mexican GP on 27 October.”

Red Bull ꦍwere seriously considering dropping Perez for the second half of the season following a horrid run of form.

Perez’s lack of points🔥 means Red Bull’s position at the top of the F1 construc🗹tors’ championship is under threat.

They sit just 42 pꦦoints clear of McLaren ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix later this month.

Howe𝔉ver, Perez’s form is secure for now, despite trailing Verstappen by 142 points.

“Ch🔴eco remains a Red Bull Racing driver, despite all the speculation of late,” Horner said in a 𒊎statement.

“We’re looking forward to seeing him perform at circuits where he♌’s done well before, after the summer break.”

Perez remaining at Red Bull also means 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda remain RB drivers.

Ricciardo was thought to be the favꦓourite at🉐 RB to get a promotion in place of Perez.

This also has a knock-on e🌳ffect on Liam Lawson, who will remain on th🐻e sidelines as Red Bull’s third driver.

Perez’s longer term future with Red Bull is not secure though as Helmut Marko ha♐s teased “the cards will be ꦐreshuffled again” in 2025.
