Tracing the path of many legends before him by establishing himself on the British domestic single-seater scene, Perez’s giant-killing performances in British F3 driving an older specification, National class T-Sport Dallara in 2007 turned heads before battling it out for overall honours in 2008 en route to fourth.Įarning him a promotion to the GP2 Series for 2009, five wins took him to the runner-up spot with Barwa Addax and with it the attention of notorious ‘talent scout’ Peter Sauber, who added him to his eponymous team’s driver line-up for 2011.
A stalwart of the Formula 1 grid, Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez has bucked the trend of most drivers before him by achieving his greatest successes in the series more than a decade on from his debut.Ĭultivating a reputation as a trusted hand capable of headline-grabbing performances in lesser fancied machinery on his day, while it took a record-breaking 190 grands prix for him to taste the winners’ champagne, a chance opportunity to join Red Bull Racing has seen him bloom into a regular podium winner.
