After the announcement of the arrival of Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber in 2025, only one seat is officially still up for grabs for next season.

| Gabriel Bortoleto | Sauber | Multi-year |
Even though 19 drivers have been confirmed for next year, it is worth remembering that a contract can always be broken. This reminder is all the more important within the Red Bull family.
Indeed, even if Sergio Pérez signed a contract until the end of 2026, his seat seems in great danger for next season. Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda seem to be competing at the end of the 2024 season to try to replace him.
If the Mexican were to lose his place, it could also mean the arrival of Isack Hadjar as a starting driver at Racing Bulls in 2025.
Even if officially only Tsunoda's teammate must be confirmed, the situation is in reality more complex, and could even lead to the arrival of a driver from outside the Red Bull fold, you never know.
