Perez Sr: A lot of riders have come back stronger

Perez Sr: A lot of riders have come back stronger

      In December, just after the end of the season, Red Bull confirmed that Max Verstappen would be changing teammates and thanked Sergio Perez for their partnership over four seasons. Christian Horner, commenting on this, said at the time: "He decided that he will take a little time out, in fact, will go on vacation from Formula 1". Perez himself, speaking in January with the Mexican press, explained the change in his fate somewhat differently: "It is too early to say whether I will have the intention to return to Formula 1. At the end of last season, events were developing very quickly, I did not expect that with the team will have to part". Antonio Perez, the father of the racer - a man in Mexico is also quite famous, in an interview with the capital's newspaper Esto once again made it clear that the career of his son in Formula 1 is not yet complete. "As Sergio and said, he will wait for the next six months, and if there is a good opportunity, he will take it, - said Perez-senior. - Remember how many Formula 1 drivers have taken a career break and then come back: Niki Lauda did that, Kimi Raikkonen did that and Fernando Alonso. There have been many drivers who have done that and then they come back, only to get stronger. I have no doubt that Sergio will get the opportunity to come back for a few more years. He deserves the kind of farewell to Formula 1 that the great drivers of the past have had, and now Sergio is doing something he's never done before - family stuff with the kids...' As 2026 approaches, there may indeed be some vacancies in the championship, especially as Cadillac F1, General Motors' factory project, is expected to make its debut.

      Given Sergio Perez's popularity in Latin America, where this corporation has very serious business interests, it is likely that they may turn to the Mexican driver with 281 Grands Prix experience. In addition, he is also exploring the possibility of taking part in the classic Le Mans 24 Hours marathon.
