Sergio Perez Denies Retirement Rumors in F1

Sergio Perez has publicly dismissed rumors about his retirement from Formula 1, asserting he intends to continue racing for at least another two years despite the demanding 24-race calendar. The speculation arose amid concerns about his performance relative to teammate Max Verstappen, who has consistently outscored him, leading to calls from fans for Perez to step down. Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko also commented on the rumors, noting that Perez's wife is expecting their fourth child, but emphasized he had not heard any talk of retirement. Perez acknowledged that he considered retirement over the past six months but quickly decided against it, citing a desire to pursue his dream and make his own choices about his future. He expressed admiration for drivers like Fernando Alonso but indicated he does not foresee racing into his 40s due to family commitments. Despite the challenges, including limitations with the car, Perez remains determined to fight for his place in F1.
