Horner reveals Red Bull seat for 2025 is completely open

Christian Horner revealed that the Red Bull seat for 2025 is completely open and many drivers can fight for it.

2023 was hugely successful year for the Austrian team as they secured both Championship with Sergio Perez finishing second in the Standings for their first 1-2.

Despite that, the Mexican was some 290 points off an utterly dominant Max Verstappen and that has raised concerns for his future.

Perez signed a new contract for 2024, but that doesn’t guarantee his spot for 2025.

“As a team, you want to field the most competitive pairing that you can have, and you want the right dynamic in the team,” Horner said.

“Max and Checo have been a tremendously successful pairing. Checo, in his three years with us, has finished fourth, third and second so he’s on a good trajectory. Daniel is well known to us – it’s great to have him back in the Red Bull fold – and of course everything is open for 2025 onwards.

“For us, to have options internally and also externally is no bad place to be.”
