In a shocking development that caused the F1 racing, the “Checo” Pérez driver was said to have had a secret meeting with Toto Wolff, director of the Mercedes racing team, right at the headquarters of the team in Brackley, England. This meeting takes place in the middle of the rumors of Pérez’s future at Red Bull increasing, especially when his contract with the racing team will expire at the end of the 2025 season.
Internal sources claim that Pérez avoided the spotlight by being spotted at Mercedes headquarters late at night. Although no formal details of the discussion’s subject matter have been made public, many people surmise that Wolff might be thinking of Pérez as a possible successor to Lewis Hamilton in the future or perhaps as a calculated tactic to put pressure on opponents.

This secret meeting immediately sparked a wave of debate on social networks, with fans divided into two opinions: Some thought that Pérez was looking for a way out of Red Bull after a volatile season, while others believed that this was just a regular conversation between major characters in F1 village. Toto Wolff is famous for bold countries in the racer transfer market, which has been successful in recruiting Valtteri Bottas and George Russell, so the possibility that he targets Pérez is not too far away.
The Red Bull side has not yet made an official comment, but the pressure on Pérez is increasing when the race requires him to maintain his style to support Verstappen in the championship race. Meanwhile, Mercedes is also seeking to consolidate its squad after Hamilton announced that he would switch to Ferrari in 2026. Will this meeting open a new chapter for Pérez at the Silver Racing team or just a dramatic drama? The answer will probably be revealed soon when the F1 season continues to heat up.
