After losing his Formula 1 seat at Red Bull Racing to Liam Lawson, Sergio Perez has broken his silence for the first time.

An official Sergio Perez release has been confirmed following the Mexican's Red Bull axe. After a tremendously difficult 2024 Formula 1 campaign, it was decided that the Mexican would not be driving for the team this upcoming season.
