“Insider” information suggests Sergio Perez’s 2026 seat is not safe, after all…
Is 2026 a guarantee for Sergio Perez?

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s new two-year Red Bull deal will rep𝓡ortedly not guarantee him his 2🔯026 seat.
Perez might have hoped t🌟hat penning an extension to his s𓃲tay at Red Bull, which was due to end this year, might have quelled speculation over his future.
But🧸 the new contract is “1+1=2, so it’s a two-year contract” according to team principal Christ🍨ian Horner.
He added: “As with any contract, there’s a lot in 🌸it, but that’s, of course, b♋etween the driver and the team.”
Sky Sports’ Craig Slater has now reported: “Does💙 he have to meet some performance targets, if he’s to get that second year, though?
“An in🙈sider has told me that probably that is th𒈔e case.”
It effectively means that, although Perez has been g♈iven the 2025 F1 season, his ‘26 place must be earned again despite it falling within his contract.
It woul🐈d give Red Bull the flexibility to reas🐲sess their options again.
Discussion around Max Verstappen’s teammate has resumed🔥 after two consecutive terrible results.

His crash in Monaco cost Red Bull❀ $2-3m, Helmut Marko insisted.
Perez has suffered Q1 exits a♚t both of the previous two r🍃aces.
And driving his damaged car back to the pits in Canada has resulted in a three-place grid drop for ℱthis weekend’s F1 Spanish Grand Prix.
The pওroblems are mounting for Perez - coinciding with his new c𝔉ontract.
Howeve🅠r, the Mexican driver has previously been the ideal foil for Verstappen.
In Bahrain, Sau꧟di Arabia and Japan - 🌺three of the first four rounds this season - Perez finished P2, behind Verstappen, delivering the dream result for their employer.
