"Perez? His future depends on him"

.

At Suzuka, Red Bull è showed up highly charged. Both Verstappen and Perez immediately showed great pace. However, Ferrari responded positively, confirming that it is a worthy rival, as Horner pointed out at the end of the first free practice session: "Ferrari has a good car this year and Sainz had a good race in Australia. The World Championship è very open".

Of course, the main topic è the future of Verstappen. The three-time World Champion has said he does not know if he will still be on a Red Bull next year, sparking much speculation about his future. It took Red Bull team principal Horner himself to dispel any doubts: "Will heà with Red Bull? Yes, 100 percent he will stayà with us", his words to Sky Sport.

As for the second Red Bull driver, however, to be understood is the position of Perez who, at the moment, is doing quite well: "Checo has started the season well. His contract will expire at the end of this year. Definitely looking at the market and various opportunities;. It's Checo who has to keep it or lose it. It's a position that still needs to be clarified"; Horner's own quip. In short, Perez will have to win reappointment in Red Bull on the track.
