Red Bull Racing extend Sergio Pérez’s contract

Formula One team Red Bull Racing have announced a contraction extension for their driver Sergio Pérez.

The Mexican racer will thus stay on with the team until the end of the 2026 season.

The 34-year-old joined Red Bull at the end of 2020, making his debut for the team in 2021. He has five wins to his name with Red Bull Racing.

Pérez, along with Max Verstappen, helped Red Bull secure back-to-back Constructors’ Championships in 2022 and 2023.

Christian Horner, CEO and Team Principal, Red Bull Racing, commented:

Now is an important time to confirm our line-up for 2025 and we are very pleased to continue working together with Checo. Continuity and stability are important for the Team and both Checo and Max are a successful and robust partnership, securing our first ever one-two finish for the Team in the Championship last year. Checo has had a strong start to 2024 with second places in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Japan and then his podium in China. The past few races have been tough, there is convergence on the grid, but we are confident in Checo and look forward to his return to proven form and performance that we so often see. Last year was a unicorn season and we will need to work hard to retain our titles, but we are assured in our line up and with the Team as a whole, which is imperative in what is shaping up to be a close fought Championship this year.

Sergio Pérez added:

I am really happy to commit my future to this great Team, it is a challenge like no other racing for Oracle Red Bull Racing, both on track and off track. I am delighted to be staying here to continue our journey together and contribute to this Team’s great history for two more years. Being part of the Team is an immense challenge, and one I love. We have a great challenge this year and I have full trust in the whole Team that the future is bright here and I am excited to be part of it. I want to thank everyone for all the trust they are putting in me, it is a lot and I want to pay it back with excellent results on track, and off track. I think we have a lot of work to do, we have a lot more Championships to win together.
