Perez makes his first post after Red Bull farewell
Perez had a rather disappointing year in 2024, something he acknowledged himself. The Mexican could not finish on the podium since the Chinese GP, and was the only driver competing for a frontrunner team that was unable to win a race. His most promising weekend in Baku also finished with a crash after making contact with Carlos Sainz.
The team and the driver therefore decided to part ways. From 2025, Liam Lawson will become Verstappen's new teammate, while Isack Hadjar will team up with Yuki Tsunoda at VCARB
On Christmas Day, Perez posted for the first time again since he announced he won't drive in the '25 season. The driver put a loving message for his fans online at X. "Merry Christmas, may God bless your homes and bring peace! At this time of the year, we should always think of the less fortunate! I wish you all the very best and most of all peace!", 'Checo' shared.
