Juan Pablo Montoya commented on the situation in which Sergio Perez found himself. The former Formula 1 driver believes that Perez will continue to drivefor Red Bull Racing next season, although the team itself does not want this.
Juan Pablo Montoya: “Sergio wants to continue competing next season. Personally, I believe that it will start in 2025, although Red Bull does not want this. They want Perez to leave the team – that’s 100%.
Ralf Schumacher recently said: “Sergio will not complete a single lap in Red Bull in 2025.” I don’t know where Ralph got this information from – maybe he got it from Germany, Austria or Red Bull. He clearly knows something, but I don’t think Sergio will give that up easily.
Sergio has already said that he wants to end his career on his own terms. He will not allow himself to be treated like Daniel Ricciardo. The main difference between Perez and Ricciardo is that Sergio brings money to the team, while Ricciardo does not.
I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but a lot of people want Perez gone, and his departure is Colapinto’s only chance to start in 2025. I don’t think there is a chance of Franco to get into Red Bull, but he may have a chance at Williams if Red Bull take Carlos Sainz.
If I were Christian Horner, I would come to Williams and say: “Look, you are happy with Colapinto, keep him and give me Sainz.” Knowing Carlos, I assume that when he signed with Williams, he said he would stay with them, but if he doesn’t start winning or getting on the podium, and that someone offers him other options every year, he leaves.
If I were Red Bull, I would say to Williams: “You can lose Carlos now or in a year, but now you will get money for him, but in a year you won’t.”
