If Checo had received the car he deserved in his last year in the team, he would have become a world champion. Red Bull needed him to become a champion.
In 2021, Red Bull offered a excellent car to Checo and he kept Lewis Hamilton, 8 times world champion, ”said Antonio Perez, according to Sportal.bg.

It has already been confirmed that Max will remain at Red Bull and next year, and Perez will return to Formula 1 for season 2026 with the new Cadillac team.
It's just the team's dynamics. Obviously, Max has a unique talent, but for the second pilot it is very difficult to adapt to the car. Red Bull is a very special car, with a unique driving style, and I managed to handle many years, but it's not easy. This was seen at other big pilots before or after me.
