Checo Pérez’s departure from the Red Bull Racing team didn’t just mark the end of an era for the Mexican driver, but also a massive loss of followers for the Austrian team on social media. 😮🚨
MASS UNFOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📱❌
After the announcement of his departure, thousands of the driver’s fans decided to unfollow the official Red Bullaccounts. In just 24 hours, the team’s Instagram account dropped from 13.2 million followers to 12.8 million, losing half a million followers. 🚫📉
On the X platform (formerly Twitter), the decline was also evident, dropping from 4.755 million to 4.704 millionfollowers. These numbers reflect the emotional impact and the support fans had for Checo, who was part of the team for four years. 🏎️❤️
CHECO’S LEGACY AT RED BULL 🏆🇲🇽
During his time at Red Bull, Sergio Pérez achieved important milestones:
- A world championship runner-up 🥈
- Two constructors’ championships 🏆
- A key player in Max Verstappen’s success, who secured his four-time championship alongside Pérez. 🔥
Social media followers quickly reacted, encouraging more fans of the Mexican driver to “join the unfollow” as a protest over the breakup with the driver. ✊📲
AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR PÉREZ 🔮❓
In a statement, Checo Pérez thanked Red Bull for the opportunity and recalled the memorable moments:
“I am incredibly grateful for the last four years with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Driving for this team has been an unforgettable experience.” 💬🇲🇽
However, the Mexican driver’s future in Formula 1 is in doubt, as most seats for 2025 are already occupied. Some experts speculate that Checo may take a break from the top category, as suggested by Christian Horner, team principal of Red Bull.
RED BULL, NO OPTION LEFT? 🎙️🤔
In recent statements, Horner said that Red Bull did “everything possible” to keep Pérez competitive:
“Checo started the season very strong, securing four podiums in the first five races. But it was a series of factors that led us to this inevitable decision.” 🏎️💔
Although the start of the 2024 season promised much, results and pressure within the team ultimately shaped the course of this separation.
THE POWER OF THE FANS: DIGITAL BOYCOTT? 🌐🛑
The impact on social media makes it clear that Checo’s followers are not willing to easily forgive Red Bull. The phenomenon of the “mass unfollow” has become an act of solidarity with the Mexican driver and a strong message to the organization. 👥✌️
Meanwhile, Checo Pérez remains a reference for millions of motorsport fans, who eagerly await his next move on the track. Will this be the end of his F1 career, or the beginning of a new chapter? 🚗🌟
THE END OF AN ERA 🇲🇽💔
The relationship between Red Bull Racing and Checo Pérez leaves a legacy that will be remembered for both its successes and its controversial conclusion. What is clear is that the Mexican driver has unwavering support from his fans, ready to back him wherever he goes. 🙌✨
