Perez departs the team after a poor season in 2024 where he failed to help Red Bull win the Constructors’ championship.
Red Bull Racing announced that Mexican driver Sergio Perez has departed the Formula One team after four seasons.
Perez, 34, joined Red Bull in 2021 and helped the team earn two constructors’ titles and completed a drivers’ standing one-two with four-time world champion teammate Max Verstappen in 2023.
“I would like to thank Checo [Perez] for all he has done for Oracle Red Bull Racing over the past four seasons,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said in a statement on Wednesday.
“From the moment he joined in 2021, he proved himself to be an extraordinary team player, helping us to two Constructors’ titles and to our first 1-2 finish in the Drivers’ championship.
“While Checo will not race for the team next season, he will always be an extremely popular team member and a treasured part of our history. Thank you, Checo.”
