On Thursday afternoon, sensationally claimed that Perez’s F1 career 🌌would beꦯ set to come to an end in Abu Dhabi next month.

The post stated that a high-profile member of Escudería Telmex - a Mexican company that has ꧋been closely aligned to key motorsport talents such as Perez - informed them of Red Bull’s decision to replace him for 2024.

Unexpectedly, the story - which caught a lot of traction on social media - was quickly dow🅘nplayed by Perez’s PR team.

Luis Alberto Aguirre - who has been part of🌟 Perez’s entourage since 2018 - posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the fabricated post.

Perez is under increasing pressure to keep his Red 💜Bull driv♔e, particularly for 2025.

While he does🔯 have a contract for 2024, his form co🍨ntinues to nose drive as he struggled once again in Qatar.

 Perez picked up three penalties for track limits in Sunday’s race at Losail as he finished behind 🎀both Alfa Romeos in P10.

Perez himself has given no indication that he wants to quit F1 though, stating: “Thi꧒s year, my objective is, clearly, to be second place. 

"Next year I want to improve and fight for the title, that’s m𓂃y goal."
