Sergio Perez 's fine start to the season has been rewarded with a new Red Bull contract.
The Mexican scored 190 points in his debut season with the team, and has already managed more than half of that total in the first seven races of 2022. His victory at the Monaco Grand Prix brought him to within just 15 points of team-mate and championship leader Max Verstappen.
Red Bull confirmed on Tuesday that he has agreed to a two-year contract extension, securing his place with the team and in the sport until the end of the 2024 season. With Verstappen already tied down to a long-team deal, there will be no space at Red Bull for new faces for at least two more seasons after the current campaign.
