Amid constant rumours about his Formula 1 future at Red Bull, Sergio Perez has revealed that he has received multiple offers to leave the team.
The Mexican star first came under pressure last season when he struggled to get close to matching Max Verstappen's performances in a dominant Red Bull, and that pressure has continued into 2024.
Perez’s future came under threat prior to the summer break after he made consecutive Q1 exits at the British and Hungarian Grands Prix, with suggestions he could be axed from Red Bull.
However, the team retained faith in the 34-year-old and he has remained alongside Verstappen, even though his lack of points have helped McLaren claim the top spot in the constructors’ standings.

Will Red Bull retain Sergio Perez in 2025?
Despite being contracted with Red Bull until 2026, the team are looking towards their junior talent pool when considering their 2025 lineup.
Since firing Daniel Ricciardo from Visa Cash App RB, Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has revealed that both Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda could be in contention for the seat at the main team if they manage to perform.
In an interview with GQ Sports earlier this year, Perez revealed he had received an offer to swap teams but opted to remain at Red Bull despite struggling to perform against Verstappen.
Sergio Perez revealed that he had the opportunity to change teams
“I had an opportunity, two opportunities, to change teams,” Perez said.
“When I looked at it, I thought, I really love the challenge I have at Red Bull. It’s a massive challenge being Max’s teammate.
“It’s a challenge that basically trains you for all of it. So I said, I want to spend my last part of my career at the top, at the very top, where the pressure, it’s full-on.”
“At the end of the day, when you go through a difficult period, there is a lot of talk
“But ultimately, there is 90 percent of the grid who would have loved to have my career.”
