Sergio Perez lands new Red Bull F1 role despite being axed - 'It's a little different' Red Bull boss Christian Horner has confirmed that Sergio Perez hasn't been sacked by the team and will still have a part to play in 2025.
It led to him being demoted by the Austrian outfit but Horner has maintained that Perez has a part to play with the team and will take part in several show runs as Red Bull prepare to try and wrestle back their constructors' title, which was won by McLaren.
“He’s just had a really tough year this year and we sat down last week – we’d obviously been talking about it a little bit beforehand – and decided that it was right for both of us, just to step back, for him to step out of the car, take a bit of time with his family, work out what he wants to do.
“Sergio has been with us for four years and, for the first three years, he played a huge role in the team and certainly that first Drivers’ World Championship.
You’ve only got to think back to Abu Dhabi ’21, the role that he played for the team on that day; Constructors’ Champions in 2022/23; he was second in the Drivers’ Championship last year.
