Sergio Perez announces his departure from Red Bull

The Austrian team had the kindness to let Sergio Perez draw first. It was therefore the Mexican driver who announced, shortly after 6 p.m. on Wednesday, via his social networks, that his adventure with the Austrian team was ending at the end of this fourth joint season. An outcome that the entire paddock felt was coming, at the end of a catastrophic year for Perez, only 8th in the Championship, with almost three times fewer points than his world champion teammate Max Verstappen.
