Red Bull’s Sergio Perez wins a delayed and rain-affected Monaco Grand Prix ahead of Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen.

Sergio Perez has extended his contract with Red Bull two days after winning the Monaco Grand Prix and will remain with the team until 2024.

Team principal and CEO Christian Horner said: “Since joining Oracle Red Bull Racing, Checo has done a fantastic job.

“Time and again he has proved himself to not only be a magnificent team player but as his level of comfort has grown he has become a real force to be reckoned with at the sharp end of the grid.

“This year, he has taken another step and the gap to world champion Max has closed significantly, evidenced by his superb pole position in Jeddah earlier this year and by his wonderful win in Monaco just last weekend.

“For us, holding onto his pace, race craft and experience was a no-brainer and we are delighted that Checo will continue to race for the team until 2024.

“In partnership with Max, we believe we have a driver pairing that can bring us the biggest prizes in F1.”
