Red Bull has decided what to do about Max Verstappen's F1 team-mate for 2025, and it's taking a big risk. Sergio Perez is poised to get a new Red Bull contract despite his poor recent form (right when Verstappen is coming under more pressure on-track from Red Bull's rivals) sending clear warning signs that are apparently being ignored. Though there's nothing official, The Race understands that Perez will be re-signed, and soon. Red Bull's mind is made up and it's a matter of agreeing the final details in Perez's new contract. But whenever it IS official, this renewal will come DESPITE Perez's form, not because of it. 00:00 Introduction 01:39 Going off the rails 02:46 The cost to Red Bull 04:27 Snubbing the alternatives 06:29 A big risk READ MORE HERE: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/new-sergio-perez-red-bull-f1-deal-expected/ Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebo
