In a bombshell announcement, Sergio Perez has revealed that he has decided to leave Red Bull Racing, effective immediately. The Mexican driver, who had been a key player in the team’s championship-winning campaign last season, cited personal reasons for his decision.
Perez, who had been with Red Bull since 2021, had established himself as one of the top drivers in the sport, consistently challenging teammate Max Verstappen for victories. However, despite his on-track success, Perez revealed that he had been struggling with the pressures of competing at the highest level.
“I’ve been racing in F1 for over a decade, and it’s taken a toll on my personal life,” Perez explained in a statement. “I’ve missed out on precious time with my family and friends, and I feel like I need to take a step back and recharge.”
Perez’s decision to leave Red Bull has sent shockwaves through the F1 paddock, with many of his fellow drivers and team principals expressing their surprise and disappointment. “Sergio is an incredible driver and an even better person,” said Max Verstappen. “He will be deeply missed at Red Bull.”
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner praised Perez’s contributions to the team, saying, “Sergio has been an integral part of our championship-winning team, and we’re going to miss him dearly. We respect his decision and wish him all the best for the future.”
Perez’s departure from Red Bull has also sparked speculation about his future in F1. While he has not ruled out a return to the sport, Perez has hinted that he may be considering a switch to another series or a role outside of racing.
As the F1 community continues to digest the news of Perez’s departure, one thing is clear: the sport will be poorer without him. Perez’s talent, dedication, and infectious personality have made him a beloved figure in the paddock, and he will be deeply missed by fans and rivals alike.
