(Sahara Force India Formula One Team)
The Sahara Force India Formula One Team’s Sergio ‘Checco’
Perez has stated that if he was in the right car that he would be fighting for
race wins and championship titles.
Perez made his Formula One debut in 2011 with the Sauber F1
Team and earned three podium finishes with the Swiss based outfit. The Mexican
spent two years with the Hinwil based outfit and was later signed to Vodafone
McLaren Mercedes however his time at the Woking based outfit was short lived
and he was replaced by McLaren Young Driver Kevin Magnussen who was in turn
replaced by Fernando Alonso ahead of the 2015 season.
Following his departure from McLaren, Perez looked at other
options outside of Formula One including switching to the American IndyCar
Series. However at the end of 2013 he was signed by the Sahara Force India
Formula One Team and in only his third race for the team Checco finished in
third place, giving the Silverstone based outfit their first podium finish
since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix.
That was the Mexican’s best result with the team to date and
he has now stated that he is frustrated by the fact that throughout his career
to date he has not had a car capable of challenging for race wins and
championships.
The Sahara Force India Formula One Team suffered a delay
with their 2015 car which meant that Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez had
limited running prior to the start of the new season however the team will introduce
a B spec chassis for the Austrian Grand Prix which the Silverstone based outfit
hope will get them back up to speed and to compete for points on a regular
basis.
