That's surprising to say the least, wonder if Carlos is trying to get the RB seat for next year.

Yeah this has been my theory as to why things are moving slowly. Red Bull is truly not in a hurry to make a decision on Perez because they know Sainz does not have a lot of leverage. Right now the Red Bull seat looks much more desirable to Sainz than Merc or Sauber/Audi. If Newey goes to Ferrari, I would be shocked if Max goes to Merc. In this third year of the new rules they are going backwards; I have a hard time seeing Max taking that chance. Merc seems willing to wait things out right now (maybe they believe they still have a chance with Max) but Sainz is taking a bit of a risk of course if Max stays in place, Merc signs someone else unexpectedly, and Red Bull decides Perez is doing good enough to re-sign. This might be the most interesting silly season I've ever seen.

I don't see Max leaving before the new regs in 2026. He'll dominate 2025 with Red Bull again.

For that matter Perez is doing well enough this year he'll keep his seat too unless his performance changes.

2026 is when seats'll be up for grabs at Red Bull.
