Has Red Bull made the right decision to drop Perez?

Red Bull has finally made the announcement that Sergio Perez will exit the team ahead of the new F1 season.

Sergio Perez has exited the Red Bull F1 team following a difficult campaign. The Mexican driver ended the year eighth in the standings and was the only driver from the top four teams to not win a grand prix. Speculation has been rife for several months, but the Milton Keynes-based outfit has formally confirmed Perez will no longer partner Max Verstappen at the team. It brings an end to Perez's four-year stint with Red Bull during which he claimed six race wins and 29 podiums. But was it the right call for Red Bull to make? Or did Perez deserve more time to prove himself? Have your say below!
