Amid his poor form, Perez’s📖 future with Red Bull has been a hot topic.

While he does have a c𒀰ontract for 2024, his place in the team is under great scrutiny, particularly with Daniel Ricciardo a potential option should he 🌌impress on his comeback from injury.

Perez was asked about the speculation ahead of this weekend’s United ⛦States Grand Prix.

“I'm just laughing at🌄 it,” he said. "There’s nothing I can do [to sto꧅p the rumours].

“I’m fully focused on my job,😼 but it really sums up my season - a guy says something about me and then all of a sudd🌳en it becomes true.”

Perez also revealed that he’s keen to remain in F1, even if he’s to le⭕ave Red Bull 🌌after next year.

"I have a contract for next year. I have no rea🀅son not to fulfil that contract," he added.

"I'm going to give my very best to it. I've made a commitment. But more than that, it will not be ✅my final contract inܫ F1.

“I'm with Red Bull and I want to stay with Red Bul♐l, and obvio♍usly, it has to work out for both sides. 

“I'm just enjoying it at the moment. I love the challenge of getting back out of it [his struggles] and at 33, I 𒁏tꦑhink I have some good years ahead of me. 

“As an athlete, you want to maxi🍌mise your career. That to me, is important, and that's my focus.”
