Guenther Steiner talks about Sergio Perez's potential sacking before 2025 as he gives his take on Red Bull's driver lineup situation.

Now, Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has confirmed that they are considering replacing Perez for 2025, hinting that his contract could be terminated prematurely. "Perez may have a contract, but Formula 1 is a meritocracy," Marko said to F1 Insider.

Former F1 race winner Johnny Herbert believes Red Bull need to drop Sergio Perez “sooner rather than later” – and should be replaced by RB driver Yuki Tsunoda. Perez has a contract with Red Bull until the end of 2025 – with an option for 2026 – but has struggled as Max Verstappen’s teammate this year.

Anthony Davidson says it will not surprise him at all if Red Bull replace Sergio Perez with Kiwi whizz-kid Liam Lawson for 2025, especially if they lose the Constructors’ title. Perez heads into his home grand prix this weekend trailing team mate Max Verstappen by 204 points and without a podium finish since the Chinese GP in April – 14 races ago.

Former Formula 1 driver turned FIA steward Johnny Herbert believes Red Bull has "the cojones" to replace Sergio Perez immediately because the Austrian team's second-place finish in the Constructors' Championship is now in doubt.
