It has long been clear that Sergio Perez will not be extending his contract due to extremely poor performance, which does not match the level of the Red Bull Racing team. Due to much speculation and considerable external pressure, Perez officially announced today: he is leaving Red Bull!
After a long and incomprehensible wait, what must happen in such moments has finally happened. True, the team did not announce the farewell, but Sergio Perez said goodbye to us in a statement:
"I am incredibly grateful for the last four seasons and the opportunity to race with such an amazing team. It has been great driving for Red Bull and I will always hold our achievements together in high regard."
Together we broke records, achieved milestones and met so many amazing people. A huge thank you goes to every member of the team, from management to engineers and mechanics, to hostesses, chefs and marketing and communications staff, everyone. I wish them all the best for the future!
It was a real honour to be Max's teammate and share his successes with him. I would like to express my special thanks to the fans, especially the Mexican fans, who believed in me every day and supported me unwaveringly. We will meet again soon, until then remember... never give up!” - said Perez, closing an era in the life of Red Bull.
