Agrees to part ways with Red Bull
Perez announced via X on Wednesday that he and Red Bull Racing have agreed to part ways ahead of the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
This news has been long rumored, but it was finally made official on Wednesday. Perez will see his time with Red Bull come to an end after four years. Perez notched five victories over that time and helped the team to a pair of Constructors titles. After opening 2024 with four podiums in the first five races, Perez struggled mightily failing to finish better than sixth over the final 18 races, including a pair of DNF's to close the season. It's unclear where the 34-year-old goes from here or if he is able to ever find a spot on the F1 grid again. Liam Lawson is the favorite to be announced as the new second driver at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen. That would then open up a seat at the sister team of Visa Cash App Racing Bulls alongside Yuki Tsunoda.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Perez walked away from the 2022 season with two first-place finishes and 305 championship points, coming away with third-place in the Driver's Championship as the second driver for Red Bull Racing. Due to his overall solid performance and repeated finishes inside the Top 10, Perez proved to be a reliable team player and was an instrumental factor in winning Team Red Bull the Constructor's Championship. However, the Mexican was not quite able to get the same level of performance out of the RB18 as his teammate, Max Verstappen, and found himself lacking in relative pace on a few occasions. Overall, Perez is expected to continue providing consistent podium finishes going into the 2023 season and is hoping to lock in a Top-2 finish in the Driver's Championship this year despite currently struggling to challenge Verstappen for the title.
