Perez: I’ve grown as a person and athlete since McLaren chance
23 January, 2021
Sergio Perez believes that his experience and understanding of Formula 1 has improved since he spent an ill-fated spell at McLaren in 2013.
After a breakout year with Sauber in 2012, Perez made the switch to Woking to partner Jenson Button as the replacement for the Mercedes bound Lewis Hamilton.
However, it turned out to be a tough year for the Mexican racer, who finished 11th in the drivers’ championship driving a less competitive McLaren.
Looking ahead to the 2021 season, Perez appeared determined to make his move to Red Bull work, claiming that he is “very different” now.

Mexican Sergio Perez has signed to race for Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen next year.
The 30-year-old, who took his maiden win in the Sakhir Grand Prix, replaces British-Thai Alex Albon, who will stay with the team as reserve driver.
Red Bull said Perez had signed initially on a one-year contract . Alex is a valued member of the team and we thought long and hard about this decision, team boss Christian Horner said. Having taken our time to evaluate all the relevant data and performances we have decided that Sergio is the right driver to partner Max for 2021.
