“Without the popular hero Perez, they feared an extreme drop in revenue at the Mexi🧜can GP on 27 October.”

Red Bull were seriously consid𓆉ering dropping Perez for the second half of the season following a horrid run of form.

Perez’s l🦹ack of points means Red Bull’s position at the top of the F1 constructors’ championship is under threat.

They sit just 42 points 🍨clear of McLaren ahead of the Dutch Grand ꧙Prix later this month.

Howev🌄er, Perez’s form is secure for now, despite trailing ไVerstappen by 142 points.

“Checo remains a Red Bull Racing driver, despite all the speculation of late,” Hওorner said in a st𝓡atement.

“We’re looking forward to seeing him perform at circuits where he’s done well before🌄, after the summer break.”

Perez remaining at Red Bull also means 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda remain RB drivers.

Ricciardo was thought to be the fav𒀰ourite at RB to get a promotion in place oꦆf Perez.

T🅺his also has a knock-on effect o♊n Liam Lawson, who will remain on the sidelines as Red Bull’s third driver.
