Sergio Perez admits he may be forced to take a sabbatical fr🍷om racing during the 2021 Formula 1 season due to the lateness of Red Bu💝ll’s decision.

Perez has been left without a drive for next season after Racing Point opted to replace him with four-time wor⛦ld champion Sebastian Vᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚettel for 2021, leaving the Mexican with limited options to remain on the F1 grid.

Rไed Bull has emerged as a possible landing spot for Perez if the team decides to replace Alex Albon and opt for a more experienced teammate to partner Max Verstappen, but the Milton Keynes squad is yet to make a final call.

"At the moment we will just have to wait and see,” Perez said as he provided the꧅ media with an update about his future ahead of this weekend’s Turkish Grand Prix.

“The season is coming soon to an end so as I said before until the teams don’t announce a driver, then everything is an option. Every team that hasn’t announced their line up is an𒉰 option so we will see.

“Everything is so late now and it looks like I will know whether I continue in Formula 1 or not quite late in the year so I think a sabbatical - it’s an option. We will see🤪 what happens 🉐in the next couple of weeks.”

Perez stressed that he needs to know about his future plans sooner rather than later, given there are few al🥀ternative options.

“We are not that far from the season to end, so definitely I have to know my plans, I need to know what will happen in my side to be able to plan🌸 everything,” he added.

“It’s happening now too late, we’re already close🌜 to Decembe💟r, so there is not a lot more to be had in that regard.”

Perez confirmed that he did hold talks with Williams but indicated that such a m✨ove was never a serious option for 2021.

“I’ve alway𝓡s kept my talks privately,” he explained. “I think it’s the way it always should be. More than that, there’s no real point.

“Nothing happened so I don’t think there’s any point in discussing. There were 🙈some talks but nothing more than that.”
