Red Bull Racing is in third place in the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship after a disappointing race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where its drivers finished sixth and seventeenth. McLaren has surpassed Red Bull in the standings, now sitting in second place. The Red Bull team is working hard with their driver Sergio Pérez, but things do not seem to be improving.
The future of Sergio 'Checo' Pérez has become a topic of debate, as despite renewing his contract with Red Bull until 2026, he has not managed to get on the podium since the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix. Pérez, who joined the team with strong results, is now in eighth place in the Drivers' Championship and has lost the chance to compete for the championship since Singapore.
These are Pérez's results in the current season, where he has had ups and downs and has not managed to stand out as he did at the beginning of the year. Despite the team's efforts to support him, the pressure on Pérez continues to mount, especially after his performance at the Mexican Grand Prix.
Red Bull chief Christian Horner initially confirmed that Pérez would remain with the team for 2025; however, at a recent press conference, his stance has been less clear. Horner mentioned that in Formula 1, results are crucial, and when a driver does not meet expectations, scrutiny over their performance arises. The uncertainty surrounding Pérez's future remains, with Horner admitting that difficult decisions will have to be made at some point.
The Formula 1 season continues, and Red Bull Racing will seek to improve its position in the Constructors' Championship in the upcoming races.
