Reports continue to circulate about Red Bull’s 2025 line-up<\/a>, with Sergio Perez<\/a> in an increasingly precarious position. However, Perez insists he pays little attention to these rumours – convinced that he can step up against Max Verstappen.<\/p>\n

Red Bull yet to finalise their 2025 roster<\/h2>\n

Having signed a contract extension with Red Bull early in the season, Perez might have been optimistic that speculation about his future would end.<\/p>\n

However, the last few months have seen the 34-year-old’s place at Red Bull brought into question.<\/p>\n

Team principal Christian Horner has admitted that Liam Lawson<\/a> is being evaluated as a potential teammate for Max Verstappen.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Helmut Marko has made clear that a contract does not guarantee anything in Formula 1.<\/p>\n

In this context, Lawson’s progress over the next three rounds could be of huge consequence.<\/p>\n

Yuki Tsunoda<\/a> is also part of this equation, although it is no secret that Red Bull have their doubts about promoting the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n

Argentina’s Franco Colapinto<\/a> cannot be written off either, with Christian Horner admitting that he’s enquired about Colapinto’s availability.<\/p>\n
