Christian Horner has reiterated that there’s no “pre-mandate” in place that will see Sergio Perez lose his drive with Red Bull for 2024 if he misses out on second in the F1 drivers’ championship.
The Mexican’s grip on P2 strengthened after Hamilton’s disqualification at the Circuit of the Americas.
It was a timely boost for Perez, who has been subject to intense media pressure and reports in recent races. It’s been suggested that Red Bull will look to replace Perez if he doesn’t hold onto second in the championship."We've never finished first and second in a championship. We've finished first and third a few times with Mark and Sebastian and we did it last year with Max and Checo."But there's no pre-mandate on Checo that says 'You have to finish second or you won't be driving the car next year' that's never been discussed.
"Of course we've got plenty of plenty of time to look and evaluate that. But there are so many factors involved in that."
