Button: Perez's Seat with Red Bull is Safe Until the End of the Season

Former champion Jenson Button indicated that "Mexican driver Sergio Perez's seat with Red Bull in the Formula 1 World Championship is safe this season, but if his struggles continue, he may look for another team next year." During a promotional event for the NASCAR race in Chicago, Button said, "I don't think Perez is at risk this year, but who knows by the end of the year." He added, "They have Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo working as an ambassador for the team, but I don't know if they are ready to give him a driving seat. I also empathize a lot with Perez after he has gone through three underwhelming races."
