Sergio Perez has already started work in his new Red Bull team. While it’s still very early on, Perez believes he can help the team grow by saying on the subject:
“I’ve been in different teams in different eras in sport. I think I know from myself what I need, but I also feel like I can move the team forward in certain areas just by talking to the team. I think we know the direction. Of course I’ll have to wait and drive the car, but there are already some good ideas that we shared with the team that hopefully can bring some performance to the track, ”said Sergio Perez in a video interview made during a recent visit to the Red Bull Factory.
This is the first time Sergio Perez has changed teams since joining Force India in 2014. The driver compared the move to a “dog finding a new family” when he said:
“Obviously I’ve been on a team for seven years so it feels a little different. It’s like a dog finding a new family: you’ve been with a family for so many years and you’re used to seeing them, and then suddenly you change. But I have to say, I’m starting to feel very comfortable here. It’s a fantastic team, very united, and I can see that we’re having a lot of fun ahead of us. “
Sergio Perez has to compete with Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen dominated his last two teammates at Red Bull
Sergio Perez is aware that his new team-mate Max Verstappen will be a big challenge. However, Perez believes the two can move the team forward together.
“It’s a big challenge for me, you know? We all know Max, how talented, how fast, how much he has grown over the past few years; how complete it is now. He’s definitely one of the best and one of the fastest, if not the fastest, on the current grid, “said Sergio Perez.
Sergio Perez continued in this regard:
“So yeah, it’s a massive challenge in a way. He’s been here a long time; He knows what he wants and what he needs from the car. But it’s a big challenge and I look forward to working with him and moving forward together for the team. “
Red Bull has a competitive pairing in Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen; They would look to make some massive strides in the 2021 season.
