Christian Horner has disputed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s claim that his F1 future with Red Bull w🧔ill be resolved imminently.

Red Bull have still yet to announce which driver will be partnering 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen for the 2025 F1 season.

After his strong start to the year, Perez is thought to be the front runner, while Red Bull are considering 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz.

Helmut Marko confirmed ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix that Red Bull have held talks with Sainz but would be unwilling to “match” Audi’s “l🅷ucrative” ﷺoffer.

On Thursday in Shanghai, Perez stated that he expects a “quick conversation” about his future and tha♐t 🌳it will be sorted in the next few weeks.

However, Horner💎ღ has poured cold water on this claim on Friday in China.

"Not very [close to announcing], I am afraid," Horner said. "It is incredible th𒁃at ꦡwe are at race five and there's so much talk already about drivers for next year.

"We're in a situation where we're very happy with our two drivers, but don't need to make a decision until much la💧ter in the year.

"Max is on a long-term 💜contract, and Checo is out of contract, but driving exceptionally w🥂ell so far this season.”

Horner made it clear th♔at Red Bull “aren’t in a particular rush” to decide who Verstappen's teammate will be.

"Sergio of course wo🉐uld like to make an announcement tomorrow undoubtedly, but we as a team aren't in a particular rush,” he added.

"We're in a fortunate position where many drivers would obviously like to drive for the team, b🍨ut we're happy with the pairing that we have.

"We just wantཧ to make sure that the level of consistency that Checo started the season is maintained and in due course, we will evaluate those options.

"But as I say, at this point in time, we're very happy with the🦂 line-up that we have, so there is no imminent rush to announce the full driver line-up for 2025."
