It would have been a travesty if Sergio Perez wasn’t on the 2021 Formula 1 grid after the season he’s enjoyed with Racing Point, and Red Bull is quite right to snap him up. Fourth in points – despite missing two races due to Covid-19, plus agonizing breakdowns in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi – he lost his drive at the soon-to-be-rebranded Aston Martin team through no fault of his own. Landing at one of the top two teams in F1, Perez now has his second shot at the big time after fluffing his McLaren opportunity in 2013. It’s a shame that things didn’t work out for Alex Albon but a series of crashes in his time there, and getting punted off the track twice by Lewis Hamilton, certainly didn’t help his cause! But there really isn’t room in F1 for nice guys, which he’s just found out the hard way… Charles Bradley, Global Editor in Chief Motorsport.com |
