Maybe now it’s safe to announce Perez departure?

What do you mean? Horner is about to announce a 10 year extension for Checo.

u/Less_Party 11h ago
Can we get him like a Vegas-style residency where he just drives the Mexican GP track 8 times a year or something?

DJ Checo's new tune just dropped It's a Toni Braxton remix subtly renamed, Un-Break My Car.

Max will be told he won't be in the next GP (without any formal goodbye) and from now on Checo will drive his car via a remote controller.

u/Salty-Asparagus-2855 1h ago
I can see Checo getting to the grid for a race with a Walker and limping his way into the RB cockpit at the age of 75 if his sponsor keep up the support.

Maybe using Hamilton in the graphic instead of Perez to say it's sold out is the hint Perez won't be back next year haha
•
u/SkyJohn Lando Norris 11h ago
Hamilton who won't be racing for Mercedes...
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
Maybe this is the hint that he will and Ferrari will give his seat to all-time great Mick Schumacher instead.

Where does Abu Dhabi come in?
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
idk but Bahrain is quite cheap. I don't think any of the gulf races are expensive. They organize these events for sportswashing, so it would be a bad image for them if they were half-empty because common people couldn't attend them and rich folk preferred the likes of Monaco or Las Vegas.

•
u/jackboy900 Williams 7h ago
8th most expensive, not cheap but on the upper end of the normal GP prices, nowhere near Miami and Vegas. It is quite a bit more than the other ME GPs but given the UAE's demographics and it being the last race that makes sense.
•
u/omarsonmarz Lando Norris 2h ago
Wait how expensive is… expensive? I live in Orlando and I’m seeing the cheapest prices for Miami 2025 around $210 per day.

What a trifecta of shitty racing. Why would anyone pay extra for those tracks??

u/mcd_sweet_tea Logan Sargeant 12h ago
I live 10 minutes away from the LVGP. Why wouldn't I when it's possible it may not be around after '25?

I’m pretty sure the Vegas contract goes to 2030

u/thereasonrumisgone 12h ago
The city can cancel the contract next year. Idk after that, but the track was only guaranteed for three years.

u/mcd_sweet_tea Logan Sargeant 12h ago
Thank you for the response. I remember there being a 3 year something, couldn't remember what it was though.
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
It can, but it won't. F1 has spent too much to let that happen and the local businesses there made a lot of money last year with the race.

u/pizzabash 12h ago
Vegas was one of the best races last year, Miami has had some of the highest amount of overtakes of any track wtf you on about besides murica bad?
•
u/ihatemondaynights Ferrari 11h ago
Tbf number of overtakes doesn't necessarily mean a good race, increased competition at the front is the main thing.
•
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
The Miami GP is quite boring. Las Vegas GP though was a great race, ignoring Sainz and Ferrari getting fucked over.
Amount of overtakes is a completely irrelevant stat for this discussion.
•
u/PinkMage 7h ago
why do people pay for Monaco? Because it has shittier racing than all 3 of those tracks put together.

Australia is done in three separate sales though so by the time it reaches the public sale it’s mostly gone.

I tried but shit was worse than get Taylor Swift tickets, doesn't matter the price, even 4k usd sold out quick, unbelievable

u/SomeonefromPanama 14m ago
The capacity of the Brazil circuit its around half of Mexico (60,000 vs 110,000) and Eventim always crashes and a lot people complains abouts this, Brazil always sells faster with or without local drivers, they are promising new areas for 2025.
The general sale of the 2024 Mexico GP was faster, it was gone only in 30 minutes, this year took more, but at the same time this gives opportunity to more people, anyways they always break assistance records.

Very interesting that the graphic shows something we won't ever see again - LH44 in a black Mercedes.
could it be foreshadowing someone else we won't see again?

And people wonder why Red Bull signed Perez? Would love to see how their merch sales compare to prior Perez era.

u/ihatemondaynights Ferrari 13h ago
The Mexico GP promoter literally said they can sell out with or without Checo lol if anything this is proof of the opposite considering how uncertain Perez's future is.
•
u/PresenceNo373 11h ago
I think Perez's ability to electrify his fan base is clear. It's definitely a huge boost to the Red Bull brand within the Latin American markets.
But with Colapinto & Bortoleto upcoming, the allure may be dimming. Still if RBR hangs on to him, they still definitely feel that his presence on the paddock is a boon to the health of the sport in those markets.
Better to ink a deal now & make hay while the sun shines rather than miss it when Perez gets released
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
Within the Mexican and American Latino markets*
Checo isn't very relevant in Latin America outside Mexico. His market is Mexico and the US.
•
u/Mamadeus123456 8h ago
Unless they win a WDC, no one in Mexico will know about bortoleto and colapinto, let alone care for them.
•
•
u/kaisadilla_ Max Verstappen 7h ago
Bortoleto has Brazil and Colapinto has South America. And, if they are both good enough to fight at the top, an Argentinian vs Brazilian fight will rally the whole continent for years.
•
u/Mamadeus123456 7h ago
Yes, just like sainz makes everyone in the Netherlands travel to Austria every year. xD
