Sergio Perez he reached the Canada fresh from contract renewal: The Mexican will be a Red Bull driver for another two years. The team confirmed its confidence in the number 11 despite some complicated races and it is surprising how the announcement came before mid-season, when last year we had to wait until almost the end of the year.
After an announcement like that, it is inevitable that most of the questions at the press conference focused on that. Let's discover Perez's words on the eve of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Perez in the press conference: “Now I can only concentrate on the track”
"Renewal? Every negotiation has its own path, it's a big distraction. Now we can only focus on performance. Red Bull is a team that takes everything away from you, it's intense on and off the track. It's a challenge you don't have anywhere else, so when I signed I was really ready to give my 100%.".
“Alternatives? We always talk to others, there were other options, but plans A, B and C were Red Bull. I want to end my career here and I want to give my best until the last lap. IIs my renewal a favor to Verstappen? I focus on my work".
Regarding the upcoming race weekend: "I hope we don't have the problems we had in Monaco. I expect to be a little stronger". Fifth in the drivers' championship, Perez has had his share of bad luck, but after the renewal he must still try to improve his performance to get back into the top 3 and help Red Bull in the constructors' championship.
