The American television channel already reports as a fact that Sergio Perez will compete in his last race in the Red Bull Racing colors at the finale in Abu Dhabi.
And he's probably nearing the end of his Formula 1 career, because no matter how much money and government support he has behind him, it's hard to imagine any team wanting to hire him after such a mediocre performance. Perez's story, which has shown the worst performances in recent years, is perfectly summed up by the fact that his boss, Christian Horner, doesn't even want to fire him, because for him, it's entirely relevant that, regardless of the valid contract, the Mexican will resign on his own out of honor...
"Nobody is forcing him to do anything; he has to draw his own conclusions. He's not in a good situation because he sees that everyone is suffering in this situation; it's not good for anyone. Neither for the team nor for him," Horner said in a charming dismissal message.
After that, the official confirmation and announcement will be practically a mere formality, and Liam Lawson will inherit Perez's place.
