Sergio Perez
“I really feel like I have my place, I’m well respected, and I think that’s a good thing as a driver. I really think I have the full support of the teamas much as Max, and that I will have every opportunity to win the championship as much as Max” Sergio Pérez said in statements shared by PrimeF1 .
He recalled that when he arrived at Red Bull the situation was different, in reference to giving priority to a single driver, in this case Verstappen.
“Certainly, when I came to the team, things were very different. They were basically just racing two cars because they had to. Now I can say that I really feel part of the team”.
This Thursday, March 30, the Australian GP begins with free practices 1 and 2. Tomorrow will be practice 3 and qualifying and Saturday night will be the race.
