Sergio Perez's Driver Bio

Arriving on the F1 stage along with a group of fresh faced rookies for the 2011 season. Sergio instantly turned eyes on him by brilliantly one stopping the first race of the year – whilst all others thought it impossible – to finish in the points.

Seen as a generally strategic and conservative driver Perez struggled to manage the required aggressiveness demanded from McLaren looking to replace the outgoing Lewis Hamilton.

Perez's Career High

2014 Bahrain Grand Prix

After a difficult winter having lost his drive at McLaren Perez found himself in the Force India for the Bahrain Grand Prix. With the Mercedes locking out the front row the rest of the grid fought hard for the remaining podium position. Perez managed to fight through the pack including world champions at Ferrari and his own team-mate Nico Hulkenberg to secure third and the final podium slot.

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes

A difficult season for Perez, starting off more passive than was required his driving style came under scrutiny when he often became overly aggressive during overtakes. After finishing the season behind the tactical but ultimately slower F1 veteran Jenson Button, Perez was replaced by McLaren junior Magnussen

With an impressive 2nd place in the wet in the Malaysian GP followed by a further two podiums at Canada and Monza Sergio impressed the right people to be offered a drive with McLaren Mercedes for 2013.
