Formula 1 | Petrov bets on Perez's renewal at Red Bull

Formula 1 Petrov Red Bull – The good placings obtained in this first part of the season could push Red Bulla to reiterate their trust in Sergio Perez, according to Vitaly Petrov.

According to the Russian, the performances of the Mexican driver - author of three second places in the first four races of the year - would have guaranteed the Austrian team not only the right responses after last year's ups and downs, but also an almost perfect balance with Max Verstappen, undisputed number one of the team.

An important compromise, awaited and sought by Helmut Marko and Christian Horner, which the World Champion team would be willing to confirm also for 2025, in spite of the availability on the market of a driver with undisputed talent - as well as with a "strong" background of knowledge – like Carlos Sainz.

Petrov and the ideal balance in Red Bull

“It's difficult for Sergio to fight with Max, even if the one-two that Red Bull achieved in Suzuka says a lot about the situation in Milton Keynes. I think Christian Horner is happy with how Checo is competing and the roles that have become delicate within the team. Sergio's renewal seems rather obvious to me at the moment, also because they don't need a second Verstappen. Perfect dynamics were created."
