Sergio Perez inks new Red Bull deal to last to end of 2024

Sergio Perez has agreed an extension to his contract with Red Bull that will see him remain until the end of the 2024 season at least.

It’s been a top week for Checo with him seeing the Monaco Grand Prix wrapped up in fine style on Sunday and he has now celebrated that further with a new contract with the team.

Over the weekend, Helmut Marko had hinted that the team were very happy with their driver line-up and so that has proven, with both Perez and Max Verstappen now locked in together for another two and a bit years, though Verstappen’s obviously runs until 2028.

Perez has shown this season that he thoroughly deserves the deal, too, with him qualifying and driving well, and also being just 15 points off of his team-mate at the top of the standings at the moment.

He’ll be itching to repay the faith Red Bull have shown in him, then, as he aims to add more victories to the one he has got already this season:

Christian Horner said via a press release: “Since joining Oracle Red Bull Racing, Checo has done a fantastic job. Time and again he has proved himself to not only be a magnificent team player but as his level of comfort has grown he has become a real force to be reckoned with at the sharp end of the grid. This year he has taken another step and the gap to World Champion Max has closed significantly, evidenced by his superb pole position in Jeddah earlier this year and by his wonderful win in Monaco just last weekend. For us, holding onto his pace, race craft and experience was a no-brainer and we are delighted that Checo will continue to race for the team until 2024. In partnership with Max we believe we have a driver pairing that can bring us the biggest prizes in F1.”

Winning the Monaco Grand Prix is a dream for
