Sergio Perez remains focused amidst Formula 1 contract shuffle for 2025

With Lewis Hamilton's groundbreaking move to Ferrari in 2025 stirring the 'silly season' into an early frenzy, Perez finds himself among the 13 drivers currently without a confirmed seat for the upcoming year. Despite the high stakes and intense competition, the seasoned driver maintains a composed demeanour, prioritizing his on-track performance over contractual negotiations.

Perez, a veteran of the sport entering his 14th season, recognizes the significance of delivering strong results for Red Bull in 2024. Amid speculations about his future, he remains resolute, focusing on the task at hand rather than succumbing to distractions.

"The rest always takes care of itself, as long as you're performing on track," Perez affirmed, echoing his steadfast approach to the challenges ahead. "So I'm not really bothered about it. It's my 14th season in F1, so for me, my main target is hitting it well on track."

Acknowledging the unprecedented nature of the current driver market, Perez anticipates an earlier flurry of negotiations among his peers. However, he remains undeterred, trusting in his experience and capabilities to secure a competitive seat for the 2025 season.

Despite the uncertainties, Perez adopts a pragmatic strategy, focusing on one race at a time as he prepares for the gruelling challenges of the upcoming season.

"I think just taking it race by race, making sure that we maximize every single weekend will be the target," Perez asserted, outlining his approach for the season ahead. "Like I said, that's absolutely my goal for this year, just take it race by race."

As the anticipation builds for the commencement of the 2024 season, Formula 1 enthusiasts await the return of action on the track. With teams and drivers poised to showcase their prowess during the pre-season testing in Bahrain on February 21-23, the stage is set for another exhilarating chapter in the annals of Formula 1 history.
