Sergio Perez's place at Red Bull Racing is under threat, it's no secret. Every day names are being suggested as a possible replacement, and now Christian Fittipaldi has thrown in an interesting tip.
Former Formula 1 driver Fittipaldi claims that it could easily happen that Red Bull's second driver Oscar Piastri will say goodbye to McLaren at the end of the season and continue his career in Pérez's place from 2025:
"As strange as it may sound, I don't think it's impossible for Oscar Piastri to leave McLaren at the end of the year and join Red Bull to replace Perez. By then, perhaps Piastri will get a little tired of supporting Lando Norris, of being the second driver, and, under the influence of a sudden idea, decide to switch," Fittipaldi mused.
It may sound crazy, but there are several possibilities. One of them is that Piastri could sit in the best car on the grid and compete with the best driver in the championship. Red Bull would gain a great driver and at the same time seriously weaken its main rival, the McLaren team. It's a thought worth thinking about!
