F1 Maestro Gives Green Light to Fernando Alonso's Red Bull Move, Questions Checo Perez's Future

Mexican GP brought thrilling F1 action. Max Verstappen excelled, but Sergio Perez misjudged a turn, and Fernando Alonso suffered a retirement. Alonso's return could pose a threat to Sergio Perez's future at Aston Martin and even Red Bull, per F1 pundit Joe Saward.

Perez's Contract Conundrum

Sergio Perez's contract situation is under scrutiny after the Mexican GP. If Red Bull wants to void his contract, they might have to pay him. However, Joe Saward suggests Perez's performance-based clause could nullify any payout.

Performance Metrics and 50 Percent Target

Saward highlights that driver contracts often have performance clauses tied to their teammates' points. Perez's significant points deficit to Max Verstappen could put his contract in jeopardy. If Perez fails to score at least 50 percent of Verstappen's points, Red Bull might have grounds to cancel without compensation.

Alonso's Intriguing Red Bull Prospect

Fernando Alonso's entry into the Red Bull conversation adds a new dimension. His proven talent and potential to rival Verstappen could make him an attractive option. Saward emphasizes the financial incentive for Red Bull to make this change.
