With five rounds remaining, Perez remains winless since the Azerbaijan Gand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the final stages of the 2023 season Perez is now just 30 points clear of Lewis Hamilton in the standings and his performances are showing no signs of immediate improvement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Charles Leclerc red-faced as he &#8216;forgets&#8217; Ferrari milestone at United States GP[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Red Bull have never claimed a one-two in the Drivers\u2019 Championship before and team principal Christian Horner has regularly reiterated that bringing home that achievement for the team is Checo\u2019s only target for the remainder of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether or not he would remain with Red Bull for 2024, Perez simply replied: \u201c100 per cent,\u201d also claiming that he is not worrying about the speculation regarding his short-term future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just laughing at it,&#8221; Perez explained. &#8220;There\u2019s nothing I can do [to stop the rumours].
