If share holders have the power he will be gone.

Sergio Perez’s future at Red Bull will be decided after the Abu Dhabi finale, with team shareholders weighing his performance. Trailing Max Verstappen by 251 points, Perez’s struggles, including six Q1 exits and a 10th-place finish in Las Vegas, have hurt Red Bull’s Constructors' Championship hopes.
Helmut Marko noted, "Checo has over 200 points less than Max... If he were closer to Hamilton, Russell, or Ferrari, we’d be far ahead." Perez blamed strategy for his Vegas result, saying, "We used the best tyre at the wrong time... I believe we can have a much better car next year."
With Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson eyeing his seat and speculation about rookie Franco Colapinto, the pressure on Perez is mounting. Christian Horner was noncommittal, stating, "We have drivers under contract... If there was something to say, I’d tell you." Time is running out for Perez to secure his place for 2025.

One could coin it "wallet power" for a billionaire's protégé.

Sergio Perez's billionaire sponsor Carlos Slim speaks out on Red Bull axe rumours
Sergio Perez has had the backing of Mexico's wealthiest family for many years and Carlos Slim has now spoken out amid constant speculation over his Red Bull future
Mirror - 26 Oct 2024
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formu...dbull-33978439
The mega-rich Mexican family which has bankrolled Sergio Perez's motorsport career has been left baffled by the constant speculation over his Formula 1 future.
The Mexican is a multi-race-winner with Red Bull but has also faced regular scrutiny over his position. He has been under more pressure than ever this season, as a result of what Perez himself admits has been "a terrible year".
But, as it stands, Perez still has his seat alongside Max Verstappen and also has a contract for the 2025 season. Team principal Christian Horner reminded everyone of that as he fielded more questions over the Mexican's future in his homeland this weekend.
Carlos Slim Domit, whose father - also named Carlos - was the world's wealthiest man in 2013, has helped to finance Perez's entire motorsport career and is a significant sponsor for Red Bull as a result of the 34-year-old's presence in their driver line-up.
According to Forbes, Carlos Slim Snr and his family remain 19th on the global rich list. And, speaking about the speculation that Red Bull could show Perez the door, Carlos Jnr expressed confusion that the man he sponsors has been the subject of so many rumours.
He said: "I think he has made it clear, I do not understand why there are so many doubts [over Perez's future]. He has a contract, he has made that clear. Christian confirmed it.""

Slim's money likely also contributes in footing Verstappen's multi-million wages. End of discussion, except if Red Bull considers that it can do without Slim's sponsor money.

Possibly there will be marketing yadda-yadda after Abu Dhabi 2024 about Perez being properly prepared on all levels for a 'reset' for 2025, starting with a 'clean sheet', 'better and bolder', 'comeback', and so on. If that happens, Slim's sponsor money convinced Red Bull to turn a blind eye on Perez's consistent subpar performance since the Imola 2024 race, substantially compromising 2024 WCC title chances.

Lawson or Colapinto ?

Between Lawson and Colapinto...I would take Colapinto just purely based on the South American connection and Colapinto has slightly more experience than Lawson at this point in F1. Don't forget Lawson also gave the middle finger previously..Which shows some level of 'maturity/immaturity' Lawson is at, at this point.

I would indeed make that incident part of the equation.

When a real top gun fighter pilot was asked whether to prefer a 'Rooster' or a (technically superior) 'Hangman' type of pilot to go on a mission, he confirmed his preference for 'Rooster'.

Not suggesting that Lawson is technically superior compared to Colapinto, but you catch my drift.

That makes sense Artemis I mean you can make a case for either driver since they have their F1 careers ahead of them honestly.
