Sergio Perez says he has spoken to “a few” teams about a return to the grid next season.

The 35-year-old Mexican left Red Bull shortly after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December, six months after signing a new two-year contract.

He failed to win a race in 2024 and had only four podium finishes, his worst season since joining Red Bull in 2021.

Perez finished second in the drivers’ championship in 2023 behind team-mate Max Verstappen, but he described last season as “terrible” after failing to win a race for the first time since 2019.

Perez, who has also driven for Sauber and McLaren, said his struggles were partly because of issues with Red Bull’s RB20 car., external
