Sergio Perez is currently engaged in discussions with Red Bull Racing about his Formula 1 future, despite having a contract through 2025. This development comes after a challenging 2024 season that ended with a first-lap retirement at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Mexican driver's position has notably shifted from his earlier certainty about his seat. While previously confident about his two-year contract, Perez now acknowledges uncertainty: "At the moment I don't know. I just know I've got a contract to race this year, unless something changes in the coming days."

Key points about the situation:

• Red Bull will present 2025 driver options to shareholders this week
• Perez scored only 49 points in his last 18 races
• He maintains he won't resign voluntarily
• Any changes must come with acceptable terms from Red Bull

Regarding his final race in Abu Dhabi, Perez's early exit came after contact with Valtteri Bottas, though he noted potential mechanical issues: "I think the drive was already an issue before that because every time I was shifting up I was losing drive."

The team is expected to make a decision about their 2025 driver lineup in the coming days through discussions with both parties.
