Perez has a view of Red Bull from P5: 'it will be a long race'
F1 News
Currently, Sergio Perez doesn't have a 2021 and seems to be showing why he deserves a place in F1 for next year. A third place in qualifying and a second place in the race in Turkey indicated that the Mexican belongs in F1. A fifth place in Bahrain also indicates Perez has the class.
“It was a good lap. The fact that we continued with a single set of tyre made a big difference, I think," Perez explains in front of the Ziggo Sport microphone. The Mexican ended up behind the two drivers of Mercedes and Red Bull Racing.
Red Bull as a goal?
“So I am very satisfied with today and I look forward to tomorrow. I hope we can make a difference tomorrow." Perez will most likely have Alexander Albon as the main target. The British-Thai managed to qualify fourth, but his seat is in danger and Perez wants to replace him.
The Mexican has recently been associated with the second seat at Red Bull several times, next to Max Verstappen, but he does not want to say anything about it himself.
"It will be a long race tomorrow, so we have to wait to see how things go."
