Speaking ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Mexican driver reiterated his focus on continuing with Red Bull, despite persistent rumours linking Liam Lawson as a potential replacement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Is this his last weekend or not? Sergio Perez told the media today: &#8220;Nothing has changed from what I have been saying all year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have a contract for next year and will be driving for Red Bull next year,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wBvTAwTp6l\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/wBvTAwTp6l<\/a> [Ticker]<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Junaid #JB17 (@JunaidSamodien_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JunaidSamodien_\/status\/1864680373893873877?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing has changed in terms of what I have been saying since the beginning of the year. I have a contract for next year, and I will drive for Red Bull then. I have already said that I am sure; I have nothing more to add,&#8221; P\u00e9rez clarified, downplaying the rumours.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging the noise surrounding his position, P\u00e9rez emphasized that his focus remains unchanged. &#8220;I am aware of all the rumours, but nothing has changed in recent months. For the last six months, I have been repeating that I am here. I signed a new contract with the team earlier, and I am here to drive for the team next year,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e9rez also reflected on the challenges of the 2023 season but expressed confidence in his value to the team. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to stay together in this because, as I said, the season wasn&#8217;t the best. But, at the end of the day, there&#8217;s a reason the team extended my contract. They know I can still do it, and that&#8217;s an important factor,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Despite P\u00e9rez\u2019s reassurances, unofficial reports suggest that Red Bull may still be weighing their options, with Liam Lawson reportedly under consideration. The situation will likely remain a focal point of the off-season discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio P\u00e9rez has addressed the ongoing speculation about his future with Red Bull, firmly stating his commitment to the team for the 2024 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":488729,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17680,16922,17768],"news_category":[16921,16715],"gn_keywords":[17958,19064,1081],"acf":{"announce":"The Mexican recently renewed his deal, but his bad performances put a question mark over his head for 2025","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/488728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/488728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":488730,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/488728\/revisions\/488730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488728"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=488728"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=488728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
