Liam Lawson will take the Mexican driver’s place in 2025, with Tsunoda confirmed at Racing Bulls.
Helmut Marko had already hinted that decisions would be made within the Red Bull camp in the coming days, and now further confirmation has arrived regarding Sergio Perez’s future, which now more than ever seems to be away from Formula 1.
The French broadcaster Canal+ has confirmed that the Mexican driver’s adventure with Red Bull has come to an end, with Liam Lawson set to take his place alongside Max Verstappen.
No chance for Tsunoda: despite positive feedback obtained during the tests that took place immediately after the end of the season, he has been confirmed at Racing Bulls. Isaac Hadjar remains the main candidate to race alongside the Japanese driver in 2025.
Febreau’s words
Julien Febreau, journalist for Canal+, announced Red Bull’s decision for the upcoming season this morning: “We can confirm the news that Sergio Perez will no longer drive for the Red Bull team next year. The decision has been made and will be announced by the end of the week. His replacement will be Liam Lawson: this means there will be a free seat at Racing Bulls, and Isaac Hadjar is in contention for that seat.”
