Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner spoke bluntly about the possible renewal of Sergio Checo Pérez’s contract.
According to information published by the racingnews365 media outlet, Horner remarked of Checo’s performance in the current Formula 1 season, “Checo does a terrific job.”
The Briton added: “We are still at the beginning of the season. But everyone in the team is very happy with Checo’s work.”
With these words, the tide begins to turn in favor of the Guadalajara native, who is paired with the current world champion in the top category of motorsports: Max Verstappen.
To ensure his permanence in the Austrian team, Checo’s work will be key in the next races on the calendar. He is currently in third place in the drivers’ table with 66 points and 2 podiums.
If Pérez’s stay at Red Bull Racing does not materialize, the Frenchman Pierre Gasly is one of the drivers who could benefit greatly, given his desire to return to the team that is currently in fifth place in the constructors’ standings for 2022, with 151 points, 6 less than Ferrari, after five races.
The sixth race of the 2022 F1 calendar will take place on the weekend of Sunday May 22 with the Spanish Grand Prix, at the famous Barcelona circuit.
What is Sergio Checo Pérez’s salary with Red Bull Racing?
For the 2022 Formula 1 season, Checo Pérez signed an agreement with Red Bull Racing that provides him with a salary of 8 million dollars.
According to information published by the website essentiallysports.com, the 32-year-old pilot’s net worth is projected to be approximately $30 million dollars.
Due to the remarkable performance he is registering this year, it is very possible that he will get a bigger deal for the 2023 season, either with Red Bull or with another team.
We’re talking about a man who, along with Saul Canelo Álvarez and Javier Chicharito Hernández, is one of the most well-known Mexican athletes on the international stage, which consequently translates into significant sponsorship deals with international brands.
