Helmut Marko has suggested that Red Bull’s impending decision on their second driver for F1 2025 will be made “in the next few days”.

Red Bull reportedly held a meeting on Monday following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to discuss168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez’s F1 future.

Perez’s poor form for over two-thir🥃ds of the season meant Red Bull finished third in the constructors’ championship - handing them their lowest finish since 2019.

Perez failed to register a podiuဣm finish after the Chinese Grand Prix back in April🌠.

The Mexican nearly lost his drive in the middle 🗹of the season, with Red Bull seriously considering Dan👍iel Ricciardo.

Writing in his latest column for Speedweek, Marko revealed that Red Bull will be anไnouncing news about their driver pairing later this week.

He also dismissed Nico Rosberg’s wild theory that Red Bu🍬ll would have to pay Perez $16m to break his current contract.

“We w🔴ill be announcing news on the driver pairing for next year in the next few days,” Marko wrote.

“There’s a lot of speculation a𒉰bout this, including rumours about possible transfer fees, which are c🧜omplete nonsense.”

Tsunoda praised for Red Bull test

Last week, Tsunoda got his first opportunity to drive for Red Bull in the post-sꦅeason Abu Dhabi 🌠test.

Tsunoda was pleased with how easy it was to adapt ♉to the RB20, even if he didn't set any headline-grabbing times.

Marko praised Tsunoda f📖or his efforts, revealing that the🦩 team were satisfied with his technical feedback.

"Yuki was allowed o🎀nto the track with the RB20 during the post-season test and the team was happy with his technical feedback,” Marko added.

“In this respect, he is much bette𓃲r than what is said about him.”
