To say that the 87 laps in Sakhir for
Sergio Perez were eventful would be an understatement. The Mexican driver, starting in fifth place, was spun by Leclerc at turn four, sprinted back to the head of the race and took full advantage of the rare blunders by Mercedes. It is now hoped that this race will not be remembered by Perez as a fine farewell to the sport, but as convincing proof of his abilities to
Christian Horner and
Helmut Marko.
An extensive analysis from
Auto, Motor, und Sport highlights not only
Sergio Perez's brilliant race, but also the extent to which he deserves to be offered a seat for 2021, and that with the Red Bull team alongside
Max Verstappen.
“Perez was knocked off the track by Charles Leclerc on the opening lap, pulled himself up and started a brilliant chase - including ten overtaking maneuvers. Even a chipped tire did not stop him.”
