Perez’s misery was compounded at his home race in Mexico City, where he once again was knocked out of qualifying in Q1 and started the grid P18.

The 34-year-old was then hit with a five-second time penalty for a false start, and finished the race last of all the remaining runners, with questions over his Red Bull future once again raised.

Sergio Perez endured a woeful Mexican Grand Prix

Will Red Bull drop Sergio Perez before the end of the 2024 season?

Not only did Perez endure a woeful performance in Mexico, but also his inability to score points allowed Ferrari to topple Red Bull for second in the constructors’ standings.

Liam Lawson has since been tipped to replace Perez at Red Bull, although it is unknown whether this will be before the end of the season or for 2025, if at all.

Perez will remain at the team for the Brazilian GP, but the Mexican will receive a huge change to his weekend.

The Red Bull star has made chassis change to his car, after requesting to revert back to one used previously in the year.
