Losing out to Hamilton would be a serious curse on his chances of survival.<\/p>\n<p>The most available alternative is Daniel Ricciardo, the 34-year former Red Bull man who impressed in Mexico City last weekend, in contrast to Perez, who crashed off at the first corner in a moment of over-exuberance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/02\/18\/77334411-0-image-a-16_1698949967352.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Max\u00a0Verstappen says he has a great relationship with Red Bull team-mate\u00a0Sergio Perez<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/02\/18\/77334435-0-image-a-17_1698950008496.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Mexican is in danger of losing second place in drivers\u2019 championship to Lewis Hamilton<\/p>\n<p>With Ricciardo at Red Bull\u2019s junior team AlphaTauri, the swap could be made in a trice with Perez swapping places. Both have contracts in place for next season.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking at Interlagos, Verstappen seemed to suggest no decision has yet been taken \u2018I always had a great relationship with Daniel (in five years together prior to Ricciardo\u2019s move to Renault in 2019) and I have a great relationship with Sergio so it is unfair for me to say who I would prefer to have as a team-mate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is not up to me to make these decisions. If it is Sergio next year, then great. It if is Daniel, then we will also get along fine and we will have a great time. F1 can be a tough sport, but maybe also nothing happens. We will see.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ricciardo played down the imminence of a switch, saying he had not spoken to Red Bull. \u2018All the stuff around my contract has been related to AlphaTauri, said the Australian. \u2018Having a weekend like Mexico was good for the soul. The team jumped two places in the constructors in two weekends, which was huge. That creates a very happy atmosphere. I will keep charging on.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/formulaone\/article-12703925\/Max-Verstappen-casts-doubt-Sergio-Perezs-future-Red-Bull-three-time-world-champion-says-doesnt-know-partner-year.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Verstappen casts doubt on Sergio Perez&#8217;s future at Red Bull as three-time world champion says he doesn&#8217;t know who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
