Sergio Perez is set to part ways with Red Bull. Sources close to both sides indicate that the Mexican has received official communication from the team, meaning he is expected to bid farewell to Red Bull and Formula 1.
Currently, these are just rumors, but they continue to circulate persistently.

New Zealand journalist Jack Plooij has also revealed a rumor that the Milton Keynes team is willing to pay $20 million to bring Colapinto in place of Perez. Furthermore, an agreement between Williams and Red Bull is said to have already been reached.However, the Argentine is expected to join Red Bull directly, partnering with Max Verstappen.
