Sergio Perez, the Mexican driver signed for Red Bull ahead of the 2021 season. Perez was without a seat when the season ended as Racing Point decided to replace him with Sebastian Vettel. However, after an amazing 2020 campaign that saw him win the Sakhir Grand Prix, it was difficult to leave out the Mexican. Hence, it was Red Bull to the rescue.
Sergio Perez was confident ahead of the 2021 season and stated that he has to make most of this opportunity presented to him and realizes that his stay might be a short one. “I see it as an opportunity to deliver to my potential, having a top car and a top team,” he said. “It’s an opportunity that will definitely open many doors. We’ll see what happens afterwards,” the Mexican added.
“I have to make sure that I do the same as in the past, to deliver to the maximum, make the most of any opportunity I’m given, and just enjoy,” he said.
“It’s been very hectic,” Perez on his schedule in the past few months
Sergio Perez revealed that his schedule in the past two months has been very hectic. However, he believes that it was a huge experience for him. “It’s been very hectic,” he said. “Once I got the contract done, it was very late in the year, but the motivation was extremely high. I basically haven’t had a holiday,” he added.
“I’ve been working flat out on my fitness trying to be as ready as possible, with the engineers at the factory, backwards and forwards, spending the time on the things that matter to try and be up to speed as soon as I get into the Bahrain test,” the Mexican continued.
Perez believes that his time at Red Bull will present itself with new challenges, new people and he must learn to adapt. “It’s a new challenge. There’s new people to meet, new ways of working, and new techniques. You just need to open your mind a lot more when you change teams and when you do things differently. So it’s a massive opportunity also as a driver to grow in all aspects,” the driver concluded.
