[Saba Sports News] Carlos Slim Domit, president and co-founder of Mexican telecom giant Escuderia Telmex, stated in a media interview that it is currently uncertain whether the company will continue sponsoring the Red Bull team, but their sponsorship relationship with Sergio Perez will continue. Domit further explained his viewpoint, revealing that their support for Perez is “independent” of their support for Red Bull; moreover, the company will firmly support him wherever he goes. Records show that Escuderia Telmex, co-founded by Domit and his father, has always supported Latin American drivers in achieving their racing dreams, with Perez being the most successful Latin American driver on the F1 stage. Some fans believe that the Mexican billionaire is issuing an ultimatum to Red Bull: if Perez does not secure an F1 driver seat, their company will not continue sponsoring Red Bull.
