“I think any of these riders would choose Red Bull as a priority over any other seat, so I can imagine them waiting to see what the decision will be,” said Christian Horner a week ago.
If Albon ends, Nico Hülkenberg and Sergio Pérez are in the game. The Mexican in Imola argued with Horner’s words. He can’t wait too long.
“It’s time to take risks, wait and then find out what happens,” Pérez said.
“But the season is coming to an end, so I think it’s important for teams to know what’s going on and what’s going to happen. The same goes for riders. I’m looking at all my possible options and yeah, I can’t wait much longer. “
According to Motorsport.com, representatives of Pérez and Red Bull are already negotiating a possible agreement for next year. Perez did not want to comment on the situation.
“I would not rule it out. I think at the moment, until they confirm anything, there are possibilities – it’s the same as with any team that has not confirmed the rider. As time goes on, there are very, very few opportunities to stay on the grid next year. “
