Red Bull, Sergio Perez at risk: Juan Pablo Montoya does not bet on Franco Colapinto

Juan Pablo Montoya dà valuable advice to Red Bull

During an intervention to "W Radio Colombia", former driver Juan Pablo Montoya, among other topics discussed, bluntly expressed himself on the market rumors related to a possible landing in Red Bull of Franco Colapinto in place of Sergio Perez starting from the 2025 season. The Bogotà native, for his part, would have rejected this option and identified the perfect replacement for the Mexican.

"If I were Christian Horner I would give Williams the option of keeping Colapinto and ask for Sainz in return. It wouldn&#39t make sense to put a rookie alongside Verstappen, also considering Sergio Perez's experience.

" debuted the former Colombian driver.

"Knowing Carlos, he told Williams that he signed for them, but if he doesn&#39t win or get on the podium he can leave if he gets another offer. It's something Vowles should consider very carefully, also by virtue of the fact that Colapinto is already part of the team and would have the chance to grow quietly in the medium and long term. Should Red Bull really come to the decision to change Perez, I would not bet on Franco, but on Sainz" added the Bogotà native.

"I think Checo will" still be on the grid next year, he won" give up so" easily. Perez makes a lot of money and he has every intention of staying, although there is no shortage of pressure on him, as many people are pushing to get another driver on his car next season. For Colapinto, I think the only chance he has to stay on the grid next year is for Red Bull to buy out Sainz from Williams to replace Sergio" commented Juan Pablo Montoya.
