His teammate may be the Red Bull star, but Sergio Perez still wants to win his home race in Mexico this weekend – and then have a shot at the 2022 title. However, the 31-year-old Mexican admits Red Bull’s priority will be securing this year’s drivers’ title for Max Verstappen. I think he is the only driver today who has that capacity,” he said. “It is my dream and I want to do it with Red Bull and I think next year I really can achieve it. And before that, a victory on home soil would be “incredible”. Red Bull is expecting to be strong in Mexico City’s high altitude setting, but Perez admits his team’s task – beating Mercedes – will in fact be “difficult”.
