Red Bull h🔯ave repeatedly insisted that Perez’s position is safe for next season despite his at times underwhelming performances this year alongside Verstappen.

Howᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚever, the Mexican’s seat could be up for grabs🍎 in 2025. And according to team principal Horner, there are plenty of drivers who want it. 

"It's just the position that we'r𓆏e in it's great t⛄o have a lot of interest," Horner told Sky Sports News.

"And it's not just from those drivers [P🌳erez and Ricciardo]💦 - it's from drivers outside our spectrum as well regarding 2025.”

Which drivers could be interested? 

Given the dominance of the RB19 this season, most of the grid would probably like to drive for Red Bull - even if it means becoming Verstappen'ꦺs teammate. 

Current occupant Perez will be looking to make a firm cܫase to keep hold of his seat ov♚er the next year and a half.

Meanwhile, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo, who was parachuted in to replace the underperforming 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri - Red Bull’s sister team - has already made it clear he wants to return to the parent outfit on a full-time b🧸asis.

Ricciardo’s teammate,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda, also holds aspirations of sealing a prom൲otion to Red Bull one day.

Red Bull have several🌊 junior drivers who could move themselves intꦉo contention, with Liam Lawson appearing the most likely to make the step up to F1 in the coming years. 

Outside of Red Bull’s young driver pꦛrogramme, there are several candidates wh🌟o may be available in 2025. 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris is known to have already held talks with Red Bull and recently admitted that leaving McLaren was “in the back” of his mind prior to a recent t🎐urnaround in form.&n💝bsp;

Red Bull are believed to think highly of Norris, who is considered a fu🌞ture world champion by many and one of the most exciting prospects on the grid. 

Highly-rated McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri has enjoyed an impressive rookie F1 campaign 🅷so far and has been tipped as a possible Red Bull driver in the future. 

Last year, Horner spoke of his regret at missing the🤡 chance to sign the Australian to Red Bull’s junior pool when he was enjoying a hugely successful rise to F1. So could Piastri be an option to part🌼ner Verstappen? 

Another potential candidate might be 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, whose contract with Ferrari expires at the end of 2024. However, the Monegasque has repeatedly stressed his desire to remain w🍬ith Ferrari and is rumoured to be close to agreeing an extension that will keep him at Maranello until 2026. 

What about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon? Albon, who was dropped by Red Bull at the end of 2020 in favour of Perez, has been a🎃 s☂tar performer ever since securing his return to the F1 grid with Williams in 2022. 

The British-born Thai’s impressive displays haveꦛ been met with praise from both Horner and Helmut Marko. Never say never, but having split from the R🌳ed Bull family in 2022 to put his full faith in Williams, a reunion feels extremely unlikely.
