F1 | Perez: “I'm incredibly grateful to Red Bull for giving me the opportunity to race”

After numerous rumors circulating in recent weeks, the official announcement has finally arrived: Sergio Perez is a new Red Bull driver. The Mexican, who has signed an annual contract with the Milton Keynes team, will share the garage with Max Verstappen from next season, taking Alexander Albon's place. The Thai will remain in the Anglo-Austrian team as a reserve driver.

Perez, author of a great season which ended in fourth place in the Drivers' Championship and enhanced by the victory in the second race in Sakhir, thus retains his place in Formula One after his forced farewell to Racing Point.

"I am incredibly grateful to Red Bull Racing for giving me the opportunity to race in 2021 – declared Checo – The chance to race for a team fighting for the championship is something I've been hoping for since I joined Formula 1 and it will be a proud moment to be on the grid in the Red Bull colors alongside Max. DI will give all my attention to next season. The team has the same winning mentality as me and I know I am here to help the team fight for another title"
