The American television station is already reporting as a fact that Sergio Perez will be driving his last race for Red Bull Racing at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
And probably in Formula 1 as well, because no matter how much money and government support he has behind him, it's hard to imagine any team wanting to hire him after such a dismal performance. The story of Perez, who has delivered the weakest performances in recent years, is aptly summed up by his boss, Christian Horner, who doesn't even want to fire him, because for him it's completely irrelevant that, regardless of whether he has a valid contract or not, the Mexican will retire out of decency...
"No one is forcing him to do anything; it's up to him to draw his own conclusions. He's not in a comfortable situation, because he sees for himself that everyone is suffering in this situation; this situation isn't good for anyone. Neither for the team nor for him." This was Horner's elegant message about his dismissal.
After this, the official confirmation and announcement will be practically a formality, and Perez's place will be taken by Liam Lawson.
