He is now looking for his new “home”. Sergio Peres. The Mexican pilot permanently left the Red Bullwhich announced the agreement of the two sides for a cooperation solution.
Which means that the Max Verstappen will have a new “co-star” from next year, and according to reports, Liam Lawson. The New Zealander took the place of the Australian Daniel Ricciardo at RB for the last six grands prix of 2024 and put in some great performances.
Although the Mexican pilot only had in June sign a contract for 1+1 yearsfailed to live up to the expectations of the team people and was ranked eighth in the drivers’ standings.
The exception was the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan, where the “Czech” was better than his Dutch “mate” and – now – four-time world champion Max Verstappen and was in contention for a podium finish, which he however lost due to his collision with his Ferrari Carlos Sainz in the penultimate round.
The Mexican has collected just 49 points in the last 18 Grands Prix, while celebrating just four podiums compared to Verstappen’s 14. Peres was the only driver among those of the four “big” championship teams not to score a win. The … collapse of Peres resulted in Red Bull being ranked third among manufacturersremaining 77 points behind champions McLaren.
