Red Bull rumours denied as Fernando Alonso and Daniel Ricciardo linked to Sergio Perez seat

There are currently no plans for anyone other than Sergio Perez to be driving for Red Bull in 2024, despite rumours circulating elsewhere.

With Perez enduring a nightmare race in his home country as he misjudged a Turn 1 overtaking attempt that resulted in retirement following contact with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, the rumour mill shot into overdrive. A wilder rumour has been that Perez is to be shifted aside in favour of Fernando Alonso, with the Spaniard parting ways with Aston Martin after just one year of his deal as frustrations regarding their on-track performance have purportedly escalated.

Speaking to media following the Mexican Grand Prix, Red Bull boss Christian Horner revealed what he had said to Perez when the Mexican driver returned to the team after the collision and his subsequent retirement.“It’s in front of his home crowd. He’s very emotional. I just said to him ‘You’re going for the lead in your home race. You wouldn’t be a racing driver if you weren’t going for it’.”

As for whether Perez needs to secure second place in order to retain his seat, as has also been rumoured, Horner said such an ultimatum hasn’t been made.“Checo has an agreement with us for next year and that’s our intention for him to be in the car in 2024.
