Sergio Perez's long-time sponsor Telmex has posted on social media as speculation mounts over the Mexican's future. Recent reports have suggested Perez is facing the exit door at Red Bull following a disappointing 2024 campaign. The 34-year-old was the only driver out of the top four teams that failed to win a race this year, as he finished the season in eighth place - 285 points down on world champion team-mate Max Verstappen. Perez joined Red Bull in 2021 as a replacement for Alex Albon and signed a two-year extension earlier this year. He has long been backed by Telmex, a telecommunications company that sees Carlos Slim sit as chairman. Slim has funded Perez throughout his junior racing career, all the way to F1 and through his journey with Red Bull. But on social media, a post reflected on Perez's four years with Red Bull, which presents as a potential 'goodbye' message ahead of the official announcement.
