Sergio Perez is confident of challenging for the F1 title this season after the action resumes this weekend following the F1 summer break
Sergio Perez currently sits 85 points behind teammate and championship leader Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings. But the Mexican has made it clear he has no plans to give up on the title fight, insisting that “anything can happen.” Perez will be back in action at the Belgian GP this weekend.
Perez started the season strongly, with four podium finishes in the opening seven races – including a victory in Monaco. But since then, he has finished second twice and recorded two DNFs in the last six races, while in that period his teammate Verstappen has won four races. However, the Mexican is confident that he can still challenge for the title.
