Today, Red Bull announced the contract renewal of Sergio Perez until 2024. The Mexican, who arrived at the Milton Keynes court in December 2020 taking the place of Alexander Albon, will continue to be Max Verstappen's teammate also for next two years. Checo is fresh from the victory achieved in the last world championship event, held last Sunday in Monte Carlo, and is currently third in the Drivers' Championship with 110 points.

"Since joining Oracle Red Bull Racing, Checo has done a fantastic job – said Chris Horner – Time and again he has proven himself to be not only a magnificent team player, but as his level of adaptation has grown, he has become a true force to be reckoned with. This year he has taken another step forward and the gap to world champion Max has closed significantly, as demonstrated by his superb pole position in Jeddah earlier this year and his stunning victory in Monaco just last weekend . For us, maintaining his pace, his racing ability and his experience was a no-brainer and we are delighted that Checo will continue to race for the team until 2024. Together with Max we believe we have a driver duo that can bring us the maximum result in F1".

"For me this has been an incredible week, winning the Monaco Grand Prix is ​​a dream for any driver and following it up with the announcement that I will continue with the team until 2024 makes me extremely happy – said Perez – I am so proud to be a member of this team and now I feel completely at home. We are working very well together and my relationship with Max, on and off the track, is definitely helping us push us even further forward. We've built tremendous momentum as a team and this season is showing it, I'm excited to see where it can take us all in the future".
