Former F1 race winner Johnny Herbert believes Red Bull need to drop Sergio Perez “sooner rather than later” – and should be replaced by RB driver Yuki Tsunoda.

Anthony Davidson says it will not surprise him at all if Red Bull replace Sergio Perez with Kiwi whizz-kid Liam Lawson for 2025, especially if they lose the Constructors’ title. Perez heads into his home grand prix this weekend trailing team mate Max Verstappen by 204 points and without a podium finish since the Chinese GP in April – 14 races ago.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has admitted the team "needs answers" as speculations over Sergio Perez’s future continue to swirl.
