Sergio Perez reputation in F1 has been built on opposite approaches to Grand Prix racing. On the one hand, he is a punchy combatant who wrestles his way through the pack and into the points. Never afraid to add a bit of spice to his on-track encounters, even his team mates don’t always escape the Mexican’s heat.

Then on the other hand, Sergio Perez is a smooth operator, a master at managing tyres to eke out extra performance and give him the upper hand on strategy. A firm favourite on the grid after spells with Sauber and Force India, Perez has matured into an analytical racer and team leader.

A proud countryman, the Guadalajara gunslinger has amassed more points than any other Mexican in the history of F1. But Sergio Perez is yet to match his hero Pedro Rodriguez and take the chequered flag in first. After a spell with McLaren and links to Ferrari, Perez’s hopes of driving for a winning team rest with Racing Point for 2019.
