Sergio Perez has vowed to ‘overdeliver’ in his maiden season with Red Bull, as he says he feels like ‘a dog with a new family’. Sergio Perez was signed as a replacement for the underachieving Alex Albon for 2021, after the Mexican became a free agent on the driver market as Racing Point signed Sebastian Vettel.
Perez has had his first day with Red Bull at Milton Keynes, meeting with his new engineers and finding his feet at the factory.
“I’ve been waiting all my career to get an opportunity with a top team.” It finally came, and at the right moment for me. I’m looking forward to making it work, to work with engineers and Max [Verstappen] to push the team forward. A great challenge and can’t wait to get on track.”
Having driven for the Racing Point/Force India team for so long, Perez was asked about his initial impressions of the Red Bull team – proven winners of races and championships.
