Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is hesitant to hand 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez a new F1 deal longer than one-year.

Perez’s future at Red Bull is a hot to🐈p🅘ic given the Mexican is out of contract at the end of 2024.

So far this year, Perez appears to be doing enough to secure a fifth year with the team, finishing second three times behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen this season.

However, a number of driv⛦ers have been linked with the second Red Bull seat in recent months.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso are thought to be options, while Red Bull have 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda in their junior team.

Alex Albon is understood to be contracted to Williams until 2025 - so is♋n’t currently being considered for next year.

Daniel Ricciardo’s abysmal form ✅at RB in 2024 rules him out of contention as well.

Marko has also denied any possibility of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel making a sensational return to the team.

Vettel expressed some desire of making a return to F1 if the circumstances were right following questions about potentially being 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s replacement.

"What, Vettel at🅠 Red Bull? No, that is not an option," Marko told Austrian publication OE24.

According to Red B𒀰ull team boss Christi🍷an Horner, it’s Perez’s “seat to lose”.

Red Bull will be keen to see how Perez fares⛎ in the European start of the season given that strong starts before tailing off have been a common trend during his time at the team.

Regardless, Marko is reluctant to give Perez a m✱ulti-year deal.

“Everythiꦍng is an option,” Marko added. “Our team is currently working very well.

“If he [Perez] has a secure contract for two years, there is a risk that he wil♈l slack 🌠off.”
