ex Red Bull F1 driver Sergio Perez says the team regrets firing him in 2024 and claims it didn’t do enough to protect him red Bull is on its second Perez replacement already having ditched Liam Lawson after two races for Yuki Cenoda in a rare media appearance post Red Bull Perez said “I know deep down they regret it and I know that from a very reliable source.” After signing a two-year extension in Monaco 2024 which prompted criticism Perez said “It would have been so easy for the team to protect me and simply say “We have a driver under contract for the next 2 years but they didn’t.” Perez mistakenly said he had stayed at Red Bull for 6 years and when it was put to him that it was only four years he said “Well I charged them for six.” Perez’s management is set to meet with Cadillac at Silverstone about a seat in 2026 with Alpine also in the mix perez added “Things are going well but I think it’s still early in the season

If we get Perez and Bottas in 2026 Cadillac, oh man I can't speak….
I can't wait for next year!!!
Vamos Checo! 😊😊
source? if he said it show it
I would be so happy to see Perez in Cadillac! I'm really excited to see how things pan out with that team
RB is like a company who became successful after that their employees became big headed and lost track of being great and exhausted their resources. Only Max driving skills is making RB hung on the top teams
Wtf…they protracted him for too long…how dare he
Perez is better than Max if he was the number one driver. He helped Max win the titles but got stabbed in the back by the scums.
I charged them for 6 years is a fantastic reply.
I don't know if they "regret" it because I"m not sure he would have done that much better than Yuki this year. But at least they wouldn't have ruined Liam's career.
The wrong decision in hindsight
The right decision at the time
KARMA.
I love Checo man what a legend
When did he say that?
I haven't watched a lot of F1. I didn't notice him contributing many points to the team over the last couple of years he was there.
Checo is living the life. They fire you, they have to buy you out 20 million. Then you watch your old corporate building sink 😂
No he hasn’t. It’s all word twisting
We don't need a "reliable source" to know that Red Bull must absolutely regret firing Perez.
He would still be at the back of grid tho so I doubt they regret it to much, they probably miss the money more
😂😂😂 False!!
To be fair, Checo wasn’t doing so hot the season they parted ways, albeit caused more by the car and not the driver. Regardless, RB needs to fix their cars before they make any more driver changes, expecting an improvement.
Love the dude he should have never been fired
Sergio and Daniel have to be RBs biggest regrets in terms of great drivers screwed over by bad cars
I’m not surprised since they’ve literally proven that it’s the car not the driver
Everybody has setbacks life, but he got points, got Monaco, yet RB failed him. He's one of 3 candidates for Cadillac. Independent News confirmed yesterday.
Red Bull and oracle all going down
The copium is real. They don’t give a fuck
Perez is a Redbull Cockroach.
Can you be more specific when you say ex- red bull f1 driver😂
i thinketh they fired him to get the sex scandal heat off of the manager but yes that young man flipping checco off and got his karma was just 😊
Same Perez who wouldn’t stop yapping about how he can out race max than kisses the wall 😂
