Mexican driver Sergio "Checo" Pérez has generated a stir among his followers by confessing that his retirement from motorsport is getting closer. Despite his incorporation into the Red Bull team in Formula 1, Pérez has accumulated 16 consecutive races without being able to reach the podium, which has sparked rumors about his possible departure from the Red Bull team.
In an unexpected statement, Checo Pérez admitted that, due to his age, he is in the final stage of his career in Formula 1, in contrast to his teammate Max Verstappen. The 31-year-old driver expressed his desire to spend more time with his family and be present during a crucial stage in his children's lives, which motivates him to consider retirement in the near future.
Pérez also expressed that he would like to be involved in promoting young talents in motorsport, especially in Mexico, once he decides to finish his career in Formula 1. Despite his long-term plans, the driver makes it clear that he does not intend to retire either now or in the next year, as he has a contract with Red Bull until 2026 and is committed to continuing to give his best in competitions.
Checo Pérez acknowledges the importance of the support provided by his country to Formula 1 and hopes that this relationship endures over time. Aware that his priority is his children and the challenge of balancing his motorsport career with family life, the Mexican driver envisions a future where he can contribute to the development of new talents in his nation once he decides to hang up his helmet and leave the racetracks behind.
