The Mexican's future at Red Bull was one of the topics discussed on Monday at a meeting of team management, including team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko.
Sergio Perez looks to have secured his place at Red Bull for now.

Along with team-mate Max Verstappen, who has six wins to his name, it has been very difficult for Perez to wrest performance from the Red Bull RB20. With Red Bull’s pace advantage fading, Perez’s struggles since May have opened the door for McLaren. The title fight is now in full swing, with McLaren having dropped just 42 points.
Did Horner actually signal the decision at Spa?
After another difficult Sunday for Perez in Belgium, when he dropped from second on the grid to eighth, his chances of staying in the team appeared to be fading, but it appears as though the 34-year-old has now been given a lifeline, to improve his form.
Speaking on Sunday evening, Horner said: “The frustrating thing is that nobody wants to see Checo fight. Everyone wants to see him succeed because it hurts to see him in the position he is in. Nobody wants to make that decision, of course you talk about it every day, but as a team we want him to move forward.”
After another frustrating race, Perez said he was tired of dealing with constant rumours about his future: “I think we have a lot to do in the team and a lot of things to focus on and we can’t waste any of our energy on all this speculation.”
“This is the last time I will talk about my future, and to make it clear to everyone, I will not talk anymore. I will not answer any more questions about the future.”
