[Saba Sports News] Recently, Jonathan Whitley, the new team principal of the Sauber Stake Team, in an interview with the media, spoke about Sergio Perez, who was dismissed by the Red Bull Racing team after the 2024 season due to poor performance. Jonathan expressed support for Perez’s comeback, believing that if he decides to return, he will still maintain top-level competitiveness. Currently, Perez has close ties with Cadillac, which will join F1 in 2026, while Alpine and Mercedes also show interest in signing him. However, he has not yet signed any formal contract with any team. The editor believes that as a capable driver, if Perez successfully returns, it will make the competition in F1 even more intense. Additionally, Perez’s years of F1 racing experience have allowed him to accumulate rich experience in dealing with various situations on the track, including the characteristics of different tracks, strategies for race planning, and techniques for competing against different opponents. For those teams looking to improve their performance and lacking experienced drivers, Perez’s experience is invaluable, helping the team make wiser decisions during races and enhance overall competitiveness.
