      They have 2 options to replace Perez: Ricciardo and Tsunoda. There’s extremely low risk of them losing the constructors championship as Max on his own has more points than the second place constructor, so Red Bull has time to make a better informed decision. Having Tsunoda and Ricciardo compete in the same team let’s them make sure they choose the best option.
