Confirmed! Mexican Media Admits: Pérez Set to Leave, Alonso to Join Red Bull Racing!

This season, with Pérez’s underwhelming performance leading Red Bull F1 Team to effectively give up on him, rumors have been swirling that Fernando Alonso is poised to join Red Bull in place of Pérez. Although initially speculative, the news has now gained significant credibility. Recently, even Pérez’s hometown media outlet, SDP Noticias, reported that Pérez’s F1 career with Red Bull is about to end, with the veteran Alonso taking his spot. The contract between Red Bull and Alonso is said to be for one year.

This suggests that Alonso joining Red Bull F1 Team is virtually confirmed. This is because, according to the logic of Mexican media, they would never publish negative news about their country’s driver, Pérez, unless it were true. Moreover, SDP Noticias is Mexico’s most widely read digital newspaper, hence their reports carry a high degree of credibility.

The report indicates that Red Bull desires two top-class drivers and is not content with Pérez’s recent performances. While Horner has publicly stated that Pérez’s contract runs until the end of 2024, Red Bull already has a replacement in mind – Alonso, the Aston Martin driver.

Pérez had a substantial lead in the second position of the Drivers’ Championship, but after the Mexican Grand Prix, Hamilton trails him by only 20 points. Red Bull had already decided that if Pérez fails to maintain his second-place standing, he will be released. The article also reveals that Red Bull is working behind the scenes, and Alonso is delighted to leave Aston Martin for Red Bull in 2024, despite the one-year contract.
