Sergio Perez༒ has indicated that Red Bull is an “option” for him as he looks to secure a drive for th🎉e 2021 Formula 1 season.

Perez is without a seat for next year having been replac♌ed at Racing Point by four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, and faces limited options ⛦with very few spaces left available on the 2021 grid.

The Mexican had been linked to both Williams and Alfa Romeo, but both teams confirmed an unchanged driver line-up for next year, takin🅷g a further four seats out of the picture.

Red Bull is yet to decide whether it wants to keep Ale🌼x Albon alongside Max Verstappen for next year and has openly admitted it would look outs𒅌ide of its talent pool should it opt to drop the under-pressure Thai racer.

OPINION: Why Sergio Perez is the solution to Red Bull's F1 driver dilemma

Asked if a move to Red bull is a realistic option𝓰 💎for him, Perez replied: “I don’t rule them out, I think, at the moment.

“Until they’re not confirmed they’re an option, the same as every team that hꦯasn’t confirmed.  I think as the time is running there is very, very few opportunities to remain on the grid for next year.

“I think there is a very thin line in there,” he added. "There is a time where you take the risk, wait,🌊 and then see what happens.

“The season is coming to an end so I think it’s important for teams tꦓo know what’s going on, what’s happening going forward and for drivers too. I’m looking at all my possible options and I cannot take too long any more.”

Asked whether he would accept a ‘nꦓumber two’ status at Red Bull 🎉alongside Verstappen, Perez said: “I haven’t thought about it in detail.

“The number two status is given on track. I would be very surprised if there is a team that when you come tells you that you are already a number t💖wo. I would be surprised on that, but obviously I don’t know how things work at Red Bull.”
