Red Bull urged to replace Sergio Perez with Carlos Sainz ahead of 2025 Formula 1 season

The future of Red Bull’s Sergio Perez is hanging in the balance as the team considers potential replacements ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season. With Perez currently sitting second in the standings behind teammate Max Verstappen, former F1 star Ralf Schumacher has urged Red Bull to make a change and bring in Carlos Sainz.

Schumacher believes that the current situation at Red Bull, with Verstappen dominating while Perez struggles to keep up, is unsustainable for the team. Sainz, who is set to leave Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season, has been identified as the ideal candidate to join Red Bull. With three podium finishes and a victory in Australia already under his belt this season, Sainz has proven himself as a strong contender.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Perez remains calm and focused on his performance on the track. He expects a decision to be made within the next month and is confident in his abilities regardless of the outcome. With the driver market heating up and plenty of movement expected in the coming weeks, Perez is prepared for whatever comes next.

As the Formula 1 season continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Red Bull and their decision regarding Perez’s future. Will they make the switch to Sainz as Schumacher suggests, or will Perez be able to secure his place within the team for another season? Only time will tell as the drama of the driver market unfolds.
