Sergio Perez: Separation from Red Bull brings millions of millions!

Formula 1 is facing a dramatic change, because the Mexican driver Sergio Perez was officially adopted by Red Bull Racing. After months of speculation, the racing team decided that Perez 2025 will no longer ride. In its place, the talented Liam Lawson will climb into the cockpit next to world champion Max Verstappen. This decision is not surprising, since Perez could not show the desired performance last season and finally overtaken other teammates such as McLaren and Ferrari while he was only a World Cup eight.

In an interview, Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko explained the background of Abruptten: Perez believed in a return to old strength, but hopes did not come true. Marko also confirmed that Perez receives a severance payment of a whopping 15 million euros for the premature termination of the contract. This negotiated sum was necessary, since the separation was ultimately regarded as the best solution for both sides. "A result for both sides was found as part of the contracts", says Marko, such as "https://sport.sky.de/Formel-1/artikel/helmut-marko-erklaert--s-sergio-sez-be-bull-in-der-indel-1/13280002/34130"> Sport.de reported.

painful ending for Perez

The final decision was not without wistful thoughts, since Perez had always hoped for a sporty turn. However, the high expectations that were made to him led to a frustrating year in which he was unable to exploit the potential that once brought him into the elite class of motorsport. The negotiations on the termination of the contract dragged on, which is a bitter disappointment for Perez. "He always hoped that he was back to his old form," emphasized Marko while reality spoke a different language.

Although the severance payment is a fell -licking sum, it remains to be seen what the future has for Perez. At the moment, all cockpits for the 2025 season have already been awarded, which makes its return to the premier class of motorsport impossible at least in the short term. The end of his time at Red Bull is not only a personal setback for the experienced driver, but also a profound change in the competition for the top positions of Formula 1, as well as Berlin Live reported.
