So why the fuck is Perez driving for them next year?!

Sponsors maybe? I'm not sure at this point

They're gonna regret that sponsor money when they lose the constructors championship

That depends on how much money they gain from the commercial side of Perez vs how much they can lose.

Redbull got 140 million for constructors last year. I highly doubt they get that much from their sponsors

Red Bull doesn't need to get 140kk from their sponsors. They need to get the difference between P1 in the standings and P2 - that's only 9kk [1]. Besides, let's not limit ourselves to sponsors. There are other potential sources of money related to his marketability in Latin America, the main Red Bull company might be interested in that as well.
