Regarding rumors that Perez’s retention might hinge on securing second place, Horner clarified that such an ultimatum has not been made and emphasized that Perez has an agreement with Red Bull for the following year, with the team’s intention being for him to remain in the car for the 2024 season. While the team is committed to supporting Perez in his quest for second place in the championship, his future does not solely depend on that outcome.
