During the Mexican Grand Prix, Perez experienced a nightmare race, misjudging a Turn 1 overtaking attempt that led to a collision with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and his subsequent retirement. This incident further fueled the rumor mill.
Adding to the speculation were cryptic posts on social media platforms by several prominent F1 journalists and broadcasters, hinting at a significant event occurring behind the scenes. These hints were often related to the situation involving Sergio Perez and Daniel Ricciardo.
The prevailing rumor suggests that Perez may lose his seat to Ricciardo, with Red Bull running out of patience with the Mexican driver. This rumor gained momentum when Ricciardo delivered a stellar performance, finishing seventh in Mexico, coinciding with Perez’s error.
