Can Sergio Pérez still surprise with Force India?

Sergio Pérez had to face a lot of criticism last year at McLaren. After sparkling at Sauber F1 Team, the Mexican was often aggressive on the track at the wheel of a failed MP4-28. Replaced by the promising Kevin Magnussen this year, Checo bounced back at Force India thanks in particular to its sponsor Telmex.

If the Indian team is supposed to be less efficient than the Woking structure, the rout of the British team last year and the potential of its new team, associated with the new regulations, can change the situation and play advantage of the Mexican. “It gives me great motivation for 2014”, said Sergio Pérez on the official F1 website. “I am sure we will do a good job with Force India over the winter and start the season in good shape. The team achieved this last year and they focused on car 2014 for quite a while. All the lights are green. »

After Jenson Button, Sergio Pérez will have to face a competitive teammate since he will play alongside Nico Hulkenberg. The Mexican prefers to highlight the positive. “Nico is a very talented and experienced driver who has also worked with Force India in the past. I hope to learn as much as possible from him. I am sure that we will have a successful season together. I think I'm a better driver after the year at McLaren. I want to be competitive in all areas, that is and will remain my goal. For me, being in F1 is not the only important thing, you also have to be part of an ambitious team. Force India is a team that has constantly progressed, especially recently when they finished sixth in the Constructors' Championship, and I think they represent a big opportunity for me. »
