Sergio Perez should aim to establish himself as a long-term ‘number 2’ alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull. That is the advice of former F1 driver Christijan Albers, who thinks the experienced Mexican driver has made a good start to his Red Bull tenure by playing down his chances of beating Verstappen early in 2021. Therefore, Dutchman Albers thinks Perez, 31, should focus on becoming a solid number 2. “So it’s not at all wrong to have that (number 2) attitude,” Albers insisted. “Then Red Bull will have a clear second driver and Perez can stay there for quite a long time.”.
