168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez remains the top choice for Red Bull’s second car next season.

Perez entered 2024, the final year of his current contract, under huge pressure with most drivers on the F1 grid coveting his dominant car.

But a series of impressive showings alongside Max Verstappen have elevated Perez’s stock to the point wher✃e he is closing in o🧜n a new deal to remain.

“Discussions are ongoing and Checo is still our first option,” Red Bull’s Helmut Marko confirm🍸ed to .

“We want to be clear about this before the su﷽mmer break, even if we are certainly not putting any pressure on ourselve🍰s.”

In Perez’s home country of Mexico this week, it was reported that negotiations 𒐪had reached an intriguing point.

Fox News Mexico claimed that Red Bul✤l had officially offered Perez a new one-year deal for 2025.

But he had counter-offered and ask♚ed for a two-year deal, which Red Bull re🍬jected.

A deal was 🌱still being negotiಞated back-and-forth, they reported.

Alternative options for Red Bull this season include Carlos Sainz, wh🥀o will lose his Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton in 2025.

But despite Sainz’s availability he has not been snapped up by Red Bull or Mercedes y𝔉et, and might have to make do with a car further down the pecking order.

RB’s Daniel Ricciardo was r🐭ed-hot favourite to replace Perez until he hit a 🌠stretch of poor form at the worst possible time.

The future of Ricciardo’s teammate Yuki Tsunoda ﷽has alsoꦏ come under the microscope, reportedly because he is not being seriously considered as a replacement for Perez at Red Bull despite his good form.

“Of course he is also pa🌳rt of conversations,” Marko said about Tsunoda.

“In general, we have several options in his contract so that he can🌌 be committed for several years.”
