We broke records, reached remarkable milestones, and I\u2019ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people along the way. A big thank you to every person in the team from the management, engineers and mechanics, catering, hospitality, kitchen, marketing and communications, as well as everyone at Milton Keynes, I wish you all the best for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has also been an honour to race alongside Max as a team-mate all these years and to share in our success. A special thank you to the fans around the world, and especially to the Mexican fans for your unwavering support every day. We\u2019ll meet again soon. And remember\u2026Never give up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Perez\u2019s place is expected to be 22-year-old Liam Lawson who has completed just 11 grands prix and is now being asked to fulfil the toughest role on the grid, team-mates to Verstappen. The team have said further announcements of their 2025 line-up will be \u201cmade in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More from PlanetF1.com<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/features\/five-possible-paths-for-sergio-perez-with-red-bull-decision-imminent\"><strong>Five possible paths for Sergio Perez as Red Bull announcement looms<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/features\/f1-2024-predictions-revisited-sergio-perez-daniel-ricciardo\"><strong>F1 2024 predictions revisited: Perez, Ricciardo howlers and an apology to Haas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Christian Horner said: \u201cI would like to thank Checo for all he has done for Oracle Red Bull Racing over the past four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment he joined in 2021 he proved himself to be an extraordinary Team player, helping us to two Constructors\u2019 titles and to our first 1-2 finish in the Drivers\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis five wins, all on street circuits, were also a spectacular mark of his determination to always push to the limit. While Checo will not race for the Team next season, he will always be an extremely popular Team member and a treasured part of our history. Thank you, Checo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team have stressed that it was Perez\u2019s call to leave but it is potentially an expensive departure for Red Bull. The team gave him a new deal in June that saw him contracted until the end of 2026 in the hope it would boost his results but ultimately, that decision has proven to be a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the matter of the significant sponsorship money the Mexican driver brings which Red Bull will now be missing from their future accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Read next:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/news\/max-verstappen-red-bull-engineer-move\"><strong>Key member of Max Verstappen engineering team pushing for new Red Bull role<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetf1.com\/news\/sergio-perez-confirms-long-expected-red-bull-departure\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio Perez has confirmed he will leave the Red Bull team ahead of the 2025 season following mounting pressure on him.
