Fans are theorising that F1’s new partnership with KitKat could be a sign that Sergio Perez is staying on the grid in 2025. The chocolate company - a subsidiary of Nestle - are a long-term partner of the Red Bull driver, who is fighting to save his spot on the grid.

Whilst Perez’s F1 future remains uncertain, the longevity of one of his sponsors in the sport has been confirmed with a recent announcement. F1 and Nestle have revealed a new multi-year partnership, through which KitKat will become the Official Chocolate Bar of Formula 1.

Despite having secured a contract for his future, it is highly uncertain whether Sergio Perez will continue to compete for Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 next season. Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto are seen as potential successors to Max Verstappen's teammate.
