Sergio Perez has been the subject of rumours regarding his future in Formula 1, and has been forced to take to social media to issue an update.

The Mexican has not won a race since April 2023, but Red Bull decided to hand him a new contract following a run of four podiums in his first five races of 2024.

However, his recent performances have led to speculation about his Red Bull future once again, with Christian Horner forced to come out during the summer break and confirm that the 34-year-old will see out his contract.

However, the Mexican has still seen fit to come out himself and clear up any speculation on his future, in an iconic social media post in which he apologised to his followers.

Perez used a scene from hit film Wolf of Wall Street in which Leonardo DiCaprio's character claims he's 'not leaving', using an x-rated speech to put rumours to bed.
