Could Sergio Perez be fired by Red Bull before the end of the season? Helmut Marko has not ruled out that possibility.

Sergio Perez is facing a very difficult time. He has failed to finish on the podium in the last 16 races, and has scored only 66 points in this period, dropping him to 8th in the drivers’ standings. These results have also taken a toll on the team. Last season’s constructors’ champion Red Bull is expected to lose that title this year.

The team that led the championship at the beginning of the season has now slipped to third place, 49 points behind McLaren and 13 points behind Ferrari. This situation could result in a significant financial loss for Red Bull in terms of revenues and bonuses related to the final standings.

Asked by OE24 about the possibility of “releasing” Perez’s seat before the final race, Helmut Marko, the team’s special advisor, said, “There are still three races left and we should be able to manage half of them. After all, it could work out well for us,” he replied.

If we win the title again this year, it will be mainly thanks to Max [Verstappen],” said Marco. His exceptional driving made up for all the times when the car wasn’t really good.”

Verstappen, meanwhile, heads to Las Vegas with the potential to become the fourth F1 world champion. To do so, Verstappen must leave the United States with a 60-point lead over Lando Norris, who, if crowned for the fourth time, will join the club of four F1 crowns consisting of Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost. Only Juan Manuel Fangio (five times), Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher (seven times) would be above him.
