Ambitious Perez convinced: 'Aim to get a couple more'

Red Bull Racing expressed its confidence in Sergio Perez this season with a contract extension. The Mexican driver is proud to have stayed with the Austrian team for so long and is enjoying his time there, he said on the official website.

Perez senses that Red Bull wants a clear direction with him. "It’s good to have a plan, it’s great to be working with the Team," he says. "I feel much more settled this year, I’m happy in the Team, I’m much more comfortable."

While Max Verstappen has again performed excellently this season, Perez has also shown what he is capable of in several races. His highlight of the first half of the season was the Monaco Grand Prix, which he won.

In Imola the team did good business. For the first time in years Red Bull managed a one-two finish. The team scored a lot of points in a single race. "After the start of the season, it was very important for the Team, but it’s more important to keep pushing and aim to get a couple more."
