Ex-F1 driver David Coulthard says he is close to losing respect for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez over how his Red Bull future has been handled.

The 34-year-old Mexican is expected to be dropped from Red Bull’s driver line-up for 2025 after a disappointing season, with an announcement set to come bꦯefore Christmas.

Red Bull held a crunch meeting involving the team’s shareholders to discuss Perez’s futu൩re iꩵmmediately after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen claimed his fourth successive ⭕world championship with 437 points, while 𝓰Perez could only manage 152 and finished a lowly eighth in the standings.

Perez’s woeful form and failure to turn things around played a major role in Red Bull slipp♔ing to third place in the constructors’ championship behind McLaren and Ferrari, and left his future hanging in the balance.

Despite this, Perez has repeatedly insistedᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ that he will drive for Red Bull in 2025, citing the contract he has covering covering next season.

Speaking on the Formu🦂la For Success podcast, former Red Bull driver Coulthard was critical of the way the situation is being handled by Perez and his manager, Julian Jakobi.

“Checo is a very good human being, but it’s painful to watch the resistance to the facts, and I can only assume it’s a management ꦦplay𝔉,” Coulthard said.

“Julian Jakobi is his manager - Julian we know and respect for many years; [he’s anജ] intelligent, good manager. But his job is to make sure the money is there.

“So I can only imagine it’s about trying to negotia🗹te the biggest payoff possible to get him t🐓o go of his own accord, rather than basically say, ‘Okay, we’re paying you whatever we’d agreed to pay you for next year, but we’re not giving you a race car.’ Which could happen, but it would be such a shame.

“I💫 would lose a ꧑little bit of respect for Julian and Checo.

“At the end of the day, the data doesn’t lie. If there’s a contract, then of coursꦦe, a contract should be honoured by negotiation.

“But hopefully they can do that in 💙an adult way, rather than, you know, you’ve hurt my feelings and I’m suing you.”

Transfer fee rumours ‘complete nonsense’

There have been rumours 🧸that Pe♒rez is demanding an excessive buy-out fee in the region of $20 million from Red Bull in order to vacate his seat early.

But Red Bull motorsport advisoꦕr Helmut Marko has insisted such specul💧ation is “complete nonsense”.

“There’s a lot of speculation about this,” Marko wrote in his Speedweek column. “Including rumo𝔍urs about possible transfer fees, which a꧑re complete nonsense.”

On the timing of Red Bull’s decision, Marko added: “We will be announcing news on the driver pairing fo𒐪r next year in the next few days.”
