The Mexican is in fact ready to do anything to earn the renewal for 2022, an aspect that will push him to accelerate the process of adapting to the car as much as possible.

"Face Max Verstappen It's a big challenge for me." said Sergio Perez. “We all know what the talent of Max and his speed behind the wheel. Furthermore, in recent times he has grown a lot, becoming a complete rider. He is currently one of the fastest, if not the fastest, in the starting grid. It will be a huge challenge because he knows the team and knows exactly what to expect from the car. Personally, however, I can't wait to work with him and see where we can get with the effort of both of us."

About testing in Bahrain Instead he stated: “I think going in Bahrain is not a bad thing, especially considering the fact that in Europe at that time it will still be cold. TO Sakhir I will have a good reference and this will help me to be fast. We will do the test and then we will also play the first race, which is why we will be able to collect a series of very useful data. The adjustment will probably be a little easier.”
