Sergio Perez says he “will be driving for Red Bull next year” amid mounting rumours that he will leave the t🌸eam after Formula 1's Abu Dhabi Grand P♓rix.

The Mexican is coming to the end of his worst season with Red Bull since joining the team in 2021, with Perez facing his first winless campaig♛n in F1 since 2019.

Perez has scored just four grand prix podiums in 2024 and hasn’t stood on a Sun✅day rostrum since April’s Chinese GP, while he hasn’t cracked the top five in a✃ full-distance race since Miami.

It’s left Perez eighth in the standings, while his form has also contributed🍨 to Red Bull losing the constructors’ title for the first time since 2021.

Following his retirement from last week’s Qatar GP, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:reports emerged that Perez was set to lose his place at ෴Red Bull, with team b𒁏oss Christian Horner further fanning the flames.

“I'm going to let Checo co♛me to his own conclusions,” he said. “Nobody’s forcing him one way or anot🐬her. It's not a nice situation for him to obviously be in.”

Red Bull is set to hold a meeting about its 2025 line-🐼up after this weekend’s Abu Dhabi finale, with Liam Lawson favourite to be promoted out of꧃ RB to replace Perez.

But on Thursday ahead of the final ro🐈u🐈nd of 2024, Perez remained defiant over his future.

“For me it’s just important ✱to focus on the weekend,” he began.

“Give the best possible I can for the team to really try and prove to the whole group of the team that we can do ඣit. I think that’s the main objective for the weekend.

“Nothing has changed since before in terms of what I’ve said fo๊r the entire yea𒆙r.

“I’ve got a co🐻ntract for next year and I will be driving for Re🦋d Bull next year.”

Asked if he would 100% be on the grid for the 2🧸025 season-opener in Australia, he replied: “I already said. Nothing further to add. I have a contract for next year.”

Perez accepts “responsibility” for his 2024 form, but beli☂eves he has support fr🥀om Red Bull management because “there’s a reason why they renewed me”.

“I think it’s just important to stay together [as a t💖eam],” h🌳e said.

෴“The season hasn’t been the greatest ⛎but at the end of the day there’s a reason why they renewed me and they know I can still do it and that’s the important factor.

“Of course, I take responsibility, bu🅠t also I don’t feel it’s all down to one person.

“I🦩’m obviously part of a big organisation, a big team, and it’s very unfortunate we did not fight any harder for the constructors’.”
