The American TV channel is already reporting as a given that Sergio Perez will race his last race in the colours of Red Bull Racing at the last Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
And it is likely that in Formula 1 too, because no matter how much money and state support there is behind it, it is difficult to imagine any team hiring him after such a poor performance. The story of Perez, who has shown the worst performances in recent years, is well summed up by the fact that his boss, Christian Horner, does not even want to fire him, because for him it is completely relevant that, regardless of the existence of a valid contract, the Mexican will resign out of pride...
“Nobody forces him to do anything, he has the opportunity to draw his own conclusions. He is not in a pleasant situation, because he also sees that in this situation everyone is suffering, this situation is not good for anyone. Not for the team, not for him.” - was the beautiful message of dismissal that came out of Horner's mouth.
After that, the official confirmation and announcement will be pretty much just a formality, and Liam Lawson will take over from Perez.
