Red Bull's Helmut Marko shuts down ‘made up’ reports about Sergio Perez's F1 contract
It had b🐭een suggested that a special performance-related clause in Perez’s contract would result in the Mexican losing a lot of money.
According to De Telegraaf, the clause states that if Perez falls 125 points or more behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in the world championship, his salary and bonuses can be re🐓duced.
Verstappenꦇ’s victory last time out at the Belgian Grand Prix moved him exactly 125 points clear of Perez heading into the F1 summer break.
But Red Bull mo⭕torsport advisor Marko has denied such a clause exists and described the reports as “completely made up out of thin air”.
"I do🐈n't know where that's coming from ag🌜ain," Marko told.
"It's comple👍tely made up out of thin air. The contracts are precisely regulated. There will be no sala♏ry cuts.
"Max is driving in a league of his own. There is therefore no reason to think about measures affecting Perez. He still has a contract with Red Bull ⛎for 2024.”
Perez is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2024 but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s return at sister t🌄eam AlphaTauri has amplified the pressure on him.
Although Perez’s seat is not beli📖eved to be under threat for 2024, Ricciardo has made it clear he is targeting a Red Bull drive for 2025.
