Details of huge pay-off♏ Red Bull must swallow if they bin Sergio Perez, reports Stewart Bell

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz kept the good times rolling for Ferrari in Mexico, with the Spaniard storming to the red team’s seco♎nd-straight victory, his fourth career win – as the Prancing Horse galloped past Red Bull for seco🌸nd in the constructors’ standings, its eyes on the top spot with four races to go.
And while Scuderia team boss Frédéric Vasseur had dismissed a title chase was front of mind in Austin, things changed sou🐷th of the border.
“Since Monza, our car has now worked well at very different types of track, so I feel we can be competitive aꦗt the remaining races also,” he said.
In the paddock, there was no shortage of chatter against a backdrop of maximum Mexico♏: in styling – with Día 𒁃de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) festival held on the Saturday after the Grand Prix, November 2nd – and cuisine, with the Taqueria a big hit, including with many of the drivers.
Huge buyout if Red Bull opt to get rid
Naturally, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s future was the big story, with the Mexican stating pre-event that he’s staying at Red Bull, despite enduriཧng a “terrible season”ꦏ.
"In the end, I'm part of a team, part of an organisation, and imagine you've been with the best team inꦕ the world for four years, and they've just renewed you for two more years,” he ♎said.
“So, they value my work and that's 𒐪why I'm still there.”

Do you think we’ll see Perez back next year?
Drivers disagree over rule change
Checo’s teammate Verstappen was also under fire, after he ran Norris of꧑f-track twice for 20-seconds (across two penalties) added to his stop – with the Dutch world champion doing similar in Austin, though there Norris was penalised for passing him while both were off-track.
The FIA has since taken ༺action, with the governing body planning to introduce a reworded F1 racing guidelines document at the penultimate round in Qatar. It’s understood that changes have already been approved, with the final wording to be signed-off by the Grand Prix Drivers Association.
But, some members of the grid don’t think changes need to be mad🌠e.
“No drama there,” said Sauber𝓰’s Valtteri Bottas. “It’s just that some drivers are pushing the limits of the regulations more, and almost like taking the piss out of it, but the rules are clear.”
Two grands prix in talks to extend deal
Behind the scenes, rꦓace promoters continued negotiations with F1 for contract renewals, including Mexico – whose deal runs out after next year’s event.
"We’ve already started conversations with Formula 1, with the [Mexico] city, and with govern𓃲ment officials to form the right coalition to make this happen, and get an extension,” said event 🌱director Alejandro Soberon.
“We're fairly optimistic that we're going to h⛦ave a race for many, many years.🍌"
The Mexico City Grand Prix is rightly one of the most popular on the F1 calendar, as a destination race, with grandstands annually packed to the rafters, including this year’s edition: the tickets for which sold out in just two hours for a weekend attendance of 404ℱ,958 people.
Also bargaining with F1 is Belgium, which also has a contract up to and including 2025, though it’s understood the promoters want an annual race at Spa – and not to alternate with the Netherlands. But, the pressure 🍌is on w🎐ith F1 keen to expand in Africa and Asia – via talks with South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia.
The paddock will be ready for a break after𒆙 this coming weekend, ꧅however, with Brazil the last leg in the first of two triple-headers that close out the 2024 season.
So it’s onwards to São Paulo, the southern hemisphere’s largest city, and home to legendary track Interlagos – where the sport will remem🅷ber the late, great three- time F1 Wor൲ld Champion Ayrton Senna, 30 years after his passing.
