168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez will want a pay-of🌼f if Red Bull ditch him, Ni༺co Rosberg insists - and the price-tag could be huge.

Red Bull are expected to sit down to finally decide the future of their und𓂃erperforming driver now that the 2024 season has ⭕concluded, with everything suggested that he will be replaced before 2025.

But Perez is under contract - after b𓄧eing given a new deal earlier this season which backfired, Chri𝐆stian Horner admitted.

The fee to pay him o🌌ff coulಞd reach $16m, Rosberg claimed.

Red Bull may pay Sergio Perez off

“Perez is one of the mysteries of recent times, how he can lose such form,” ex-F1 champion Rosberg told Sky Sports.

“He is so far back, he struggles to get within six or seven tenths 🦂of Max which is huge in F1.

“All the rumours are that he’ll be out but he hasn’t confirmed it becaus🍸e he has a contract for next year.

“The rumour is that it’s arou▨nd $16m! He wants his money, at least, so he won’t go away easily.

“There will be lawyer discussions.”

Danica Patrick added: “Qualifying, he has always struggled. He has a habit of wanting to go ouജt late.

“He really hasn’t put it together.

“What stands out for me are the little mistakeꦐs - like starting too far from the line, a few🍌 races ago. And missing the pit out, so he couldn’t get the lap. I don’t know if it’s a focus thing.

“But it🎶’s more than ov༺erall results, it’s the mistakes along the way, too.

“I don’t think it’s worth sacrificing 🔯the reputation of his career because he’s had a꧟ lot of success.”

Who will replace Sergio Perez?

Martin Brundle ⛎said: “I feel the same way about Sergio as I did about Daniel💝 Ricciardo.

“I have the utmost respect for the peꦜrson, the driver and the victories that he’𝓡s had.

“Sometimes he has won races without theꦿ fastest car. Total respect.

“But I’ll be slightly relieved when it’s♌ over. It must be purgatory for him, at the momen🐭t.

“He has lost ဣhis mojo, lost his way. All the pressure heaped on that, to turn up everyꦚ day must be painful.”

RB duo Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda are the 💧contenders to replace Perez.

Tsu🙈noda is dꦡriving a Red Bull at the postseason test in Abu Dhabi.

Interest in Williams’ Franco Colapinto came to nothing. If Lawson or Tsunoda are picked♏, then Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar will step up from Formula 2 into the RB in 2025.

Rosberg said: “It’s a hard decision. The options are not so fantastic because of the lack of experience on La♑wson’s side.

“The rumours are that they will go for Lawson.

“It’s not an obvious one, either. Against Tsunoda it’s not like he’s beenꩲ on a different planet, he’s been there or thereabouts.

“That’s𝔍 the gamble that they will take, and they should take it.”

Brundle added: “Red Bull are paying the price for having Max Verstappen in the team. They don’t have 🦋an obvious solution.”
