Formula 1’s rumour mill went into overdrive this week following Sergio Perez’s first lap exit from the Mexico Grand Prix and a cryptic tweet from a Spanish journalist.
Amid the frenzy of Perez's home race, and constant speculation about his contract, the 33-year-old knew that a good performance at Mexico City would help silent doubts about his future and prove that hints of a turnaround in form from Austin were real. But a win-or-bust attitude at Turn 1 backfired as he clashed with Charles Leclerc, was launched down the escape road, and suffered too much damage to keep racing.
While there may be an element of frustration that Perez has not done more with the RB19, there are actually no obvious candidates who are guaranteed to be faster, have the right mindset to take on Verstappen and, crucially, are available to slot in. Alonso could, in theory, tick all those boxes but it is understood that he is not being considered by Red Bull’s bosses – and nor is he especially favoured by the team’s engine partner Honda.
