Will Belgian GP be Sergio Perez’s last Red Bull race?

Speaking to the media at the Belgian GP, Perez was asked whether he knew if this wouldn't be his last race with the team.

“Yes. Correct,” Perez said.

”I know basically what's in my contract. And I know that the team trust in me. I know where is the main focus, which is on delivering on track.”

However, Red Bull boss Helmut Marko has revealed that Perez’s contract contains an exit clause, and that a decision could be made by the summer break.

“I don’t know, but I think it's something to ask him. I don't know,” Perez said in response to Marko’s summer break claims.

“I haven't asked him about that particular point. I think like I said, you know, I feel like the whole team is fully focused on getting back on track.

“Getting our season back on track and the rest is purely speculation, you know, the team is really working hard with me to get the season back on track.

“Winning this constructors' championship, it's all what we we are working on. “There hasn't been any further discussions and getting our season back on track [is what we’re focused on].”
