Sergio Perez has officially extended his contract with Red Bull, committing to the Formula 1 team through 2026. The Mexican driver, known as 'Checo', had been facing speculation about his future with the team due to challenges in matching the pace of his teammate, Max Verstappen, the defending champion.
Despite not having won a race since April 2023, Perez has been praised for his defensive driving skills, particularly in supporting Verstappen's title-winning efforts. Verstappen currently leads the standings this season with 169 points, with Perez in fifth place with 107 points.
