Yuki Tsunoda, from Red Bull&#8217;s junior team, Racing Bulls, was the one who took his place.\n\nP\u00e9rez, 35, is considered a strong candidate for the new Cadillac F1 team that will debut in 2026. In addition, he mentioned that with the departure of designer Adrian Newey &#8220;many more problems began, then Jonathan Wheatley left [Red Bull&#8217;s sporting director until 2024 and now team director of Sauber], who was a fundamental part of the team&#8221;, and the team &#8220;little by little&#8221; fell apart.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In the end, that&#8217;s how sports are.

Beschir, along with Luis Aguirre and Checo himself, have taken over the management of his career.\n\nYes, I want to, if the right project comes up that I feel is where I should be,&#8221; but he emphasized that he doesn&#8217;t want to travel the world as a third driver.\n\nRegarding which team he would join, he said: &#8220;I&#8217;m not in a hurry, we&#8217;ll see what happens next year&#8221;, but added that he is looking for something similar to what he achieved with Force India (now Aston Martin), which gradually became a winning team.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio &#8220;Checo&#8221; P\u00e9rez has revealed unpublished details about his departure from Red Bull, expressing that the team regrets his decision.
