The topic of Perez’s future has been a recurring topic throughout the F1 2023.

It’s probably no surprise given Perez’s stuttering form, combined wit🐈h the fact he’s driving for the best team in F1.

Perez’s 2023 campaign 💝has been in a similar vein to his first two with Red Bull.

A decent start before struggling in the European leg of the season and then pulling it back by th💫e time we head to Singapore.

However, recentlಞy there have been several startling admissions from Helmut M♎arko about Perez’s position at Red Bull, casting doubt over his immediate future.

While Perez does have a contract for 2024, rumours have been swirling about his future, particularly given the team’s alleged interest in McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

In a recent interview with DAZN Espana, Perܫez revealed for the first time he will look elsewhere if he feels he can’t contribute.

“With the season we have had, it is important to hold the next races in an environment where I feel I can contribuౠte. And [if] that place for 2024 (likely means 2025) is not here, we will have to look for other alternatives.

“But rigꦿht now, my main focus is to be here, to win more races, to keep winning championships with Red Bull. I have a contract until next year and at some point next year we wi💖ll sit down and talk.”

Before joining Red Bull, Perez was re꧂nowned as the best midfield driver on the grid, great at picking up points and making the most of any opportunity given to him on race day.

So which teams could be interested in him?

McLaren

If Perez is replaced by Norris, then McLaren will have a vacancy to fill alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

While Perez would be a considerable downgrade on Norris, provided Piastri makes the expected ꩵprogress we all anticipate the Mexican could be an experienced, reliable second driver alongside the impressive Australian.

Perez did have a one-year stint with the Woking outfit back in 2013ꦫ, albeit it ended with him lea🎀ving the team at the end of the season.

10 years on, Perez feels that stint with McLaren - under entirely different management to now with Zak Brown - made him stronger and led him to develop into a dependable midജfield competitor.

While McLaren may be aiming for someone better than Perez, he could be a decent option for a year or two, especially if Pi🦋aꦑstri grows into a superstar.

Sauber/Audi

Another former team that wilꩲl likely be interested༺ in Perez’s services is Sauber.

Gearing up for Audi in 2026, Sauber will be keen to♓ have a strong driver line-up.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has a con𓂃tract for 2024 but his long-term future is unclear given it’s unlikely that Audi will see him a🐻s the man to lead them into the new rules cycle.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu has improved during his short F1 career but he’s yet to s💛ꦉhow signs of ever being a superstar.

While Perez is unlikely to be a significant upgrade on pace-wise Bott♎as, the Mexican’s aggressiveness and wheel-to-wheel prowess make him a better candidate for a team likely to be in the midfield.

Even better, a Bottas-Perez line-up for 2025 would send Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fans into raptures given th🎉e outcome of the head-to-head would make or break their agendas.

Williams

A resurgent Williams co🦂uld be an exciting prospect for Perez.

Their second seat has been a problem for years with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi and now 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant lagging way behind their respective teammates.

In 2023, Williams are enjoying their best season in six years as they're&nbs🍒p;on course to finish seventh in ꦉthe constructors’ championship.

Given Will💯iams’ upward trajectory, Williams could be an exciting option for Perez post-Red Bull.

Haas

Guenther Steiner has been co🐭nsistent in his want for ಞ“experience” in a driver - Perez fits that bill perfectly. 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen’s form continues to be poor so it would be foolish to think that Haas wouldn’t b🥂e ver💯y interested in Perez.

However, one stumbling block 🍌could be Perez’s salary given he would earn significantly less than heꦡ is at Red Bull.

Plus, out of all of the teams liౠsted, Haas’ lack of progress makes it a𓆉n unattractive proposition for Perez.
