Red Bull feeds rumors coming Perez with clumsy slip of the...

Red Bull Racing has caused a lot of commotion on social media with a spelling error. The typo seems to hint at a switch from Perez to the team from Milton Keynes.

The Red Bull Racing line-up for 2021 has been stirring up emotions for a long time. It is still uncertain who will be sitting next to Max Verstappen next year. Albon has been driving for the Austrian team for 1.5 years now, but still performs below the level expected of him. Helmut Marko and Christian Horner have remained behind Albon so far, but have indicated that they are already in talks with Nico Hülkenberg and Sergio Perez. An unfortunate mistake by Red Bull on social media, however, has ensured that the rumor mill has started running again.

After the Portuguese Grand Prix, the Austrian racing team did a quiz on Instagram. The Red Bull fans can see if they can still remember the details of the last Grand Prix. One of the questions concerns the incident between Perez and Verstappen in the first round. However, this question, which has since been removed, contains a striking spelling mistake. “Who was Max contracted with during the opening round?” so it goes. One therefore wonders whether this is a deliberate hint of Red Bull, or just an unfortunate spelling mistake.

In itself such a mistake would not be so bad, after all, making mistakes is human. It is striking, however, that in recent days a number of tweets have surfaced from people who would have spotted Perez at the airport after the Grand Prix of Portugal. The Mexican driver is said to have left the Southern European country together with some Red Bull team members, including Verstappen.
