On Thursday afternoon, sensationa꧋lly claimed that Perez’s F1 career would be set to come to an end in Abu Dhabi ꦇnext month.

The post stated that a high-profile member of Escudería Telmex - a Mexican company that has been closely aligned to key motorsport talents such as Perez - informed them of Red Bull’s decision to replace him for 2024𓂃.

Unexpectedly, the story - which caught a lot of traction on social m🧔edia - was quickl♕y downplayed by Perez’s PR team.

Luis Alberto Aguirre - who has been part of Perez’s entourage since 2018 - posted on X (formerly Twitter) 🎀in respoꦓnse to the fabricated post.

Perez is under increasing pressure to keep his Red Bull drive🦄, particularly f🌠or 2025.

Whi♉le he does have aꦍ contract for 2024, his form continues to nose drive as he struggled once again in Qatar.

 Perez picked up three penalties🦂 for track limits in Sunday’s race at Losail as he finished behind both Alfa Romeos in P10.

Perez himself has given no indication that he wants to q💜uit F1 though, stating: “This year, my objective is, clearly, to be second place.&n𒀰bsp;

"Next year I wa🦩nt to improve and fight for the title, that’s my goal."
