Red Bull ready to make lunar choice to replace Sergio Perez

In the middle of the 2024 Brazilian F1 GP, a rumor shakes up the paddock. It particularly concerns Red Bull. Explanations.

While Max Verstappen is still in the fight with Lando Norris for the title of 2024 F1 world driver champion, Sergio Perez is completely out of the picture. The Mexican has had a series of poor performances since the start of the season. So much so that his departure from Red Bull F1 seems almost finalized.

Carlos Sainz, future teammate of Max Verstappen at Red Bull F1?

To replace it, several names are circulating. That of Franco Colapinto, very successful since his debut with Williams and who seems to have the ideal profile to join the Austrian team. Isack Hadjar is also one of the targeted drivers and benefits from the support of Helmut Marko.

But this Saturday, another name came out of the hat, that of Carlos Sainz. Transferred to Williams for the 2025 season, the Spanish driver could finally find himself in the seat vacated by Sergio Perez. In any case, this is what Argentine journalist Jorge Legnani, associated with the media Campeones, indicates.

An option that could suit Williams

According to his information, Horner, seen in Williams hospitality, was not only chatting for Colapinto, but also for Carlos Sainz. In the contract signed with Williams, the Spaniard has several exit clauses. This could suit the British team, which made big financial concessions for Carlos Sainz.

In addition, Franco Colapinto also brings a lot of money to the Grove team due to the Argentine market, a Latin American market to which Red Bull F1 is not insensitive. The game of musical chairs does not seem to be over, much to our great pleasure.
