After four remarkable seasons, Sergio Pérez, affectionately known as “Checo,” will part ways with Oracle Red Bull Racing at the conclusion of the 2024 Formula One season. The announcement marks the end of a historic partnership that saw Checo and the Team achieve extraordinary milestones on and off the track.
A Legacy of Success
Checo joined Oracle Red Bull Racing in 2021 and quickly became an integral part of the Team’s success. Across 90 race starts, he delivered five unforgettable victories, including triumphs at the Monaco Grand Prix and two Azerbaijan Grand Prix wins, solidifying his title as “F1’s King of the Streets.” Beyond individual glory, Checo played a pivotal role in helping Red Bull secure back-to-back Constructors’ Championships in 2022 and 2023.
His contributions extended beyond the podium, as he became the first Red Bull driver alongside Max Verstappen to achieve a one-two finish in the Drivers’ standings. These accomplishments reflect his skill, resilience, and unwavering dedication to the sport.
A Heartfelt Goodbye
Reflecting on his time with the Team, Checo expressed gratitude for the journey:
“Driving for Red Bull has been an unforgettable experience, filled with incredible achievements and wonderful memories. I want to thank every member of the Team and the fans for their unwavering support. Remember, never give up.”
Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing’s Team Principal, echoed the sentiment, celebrating Checo’s impact on the Team:
“From his street circuit victories to his unwavering team spirit, Checo has left an indelible mark on Red Bull Racing’s history. While his journey with us concludes, he will always remain a cherished part of our legacy.”
Looking Ahead
While Checo’s departure leaves a significant void, his contributions will continue to inspire the Team as they prepare for the 2025 season. Further announcements regarding Red Bull Racing’s future driver lineup are expected soon.
For now, the motorsport world salutes Sergio Pérez, a driver whose time with Red Bull Racing will forever be remembered as one of excellence, teamwork, and relentless determination.
