WHAT OPTIONS DOES PEREZ HAVE?

The Mexican is entering his tenth Grand Prix season this year and one wonders, in case he has to give way to Vettel, what alternatives are available to him.

Out of the front-running teams, there seems to be little space. Mercedes is set to announce Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas soon, while Red Bull has affirmed it is happy with Alexander Albon alongside Max Verstappen for the time being.

The most logical options for Perez are at Haas and Alfa Romeo, with both seats at each team currently open for 2021.

Both teams have endured a difficult start to the 2020 season compared to Racing Point, who is tipped to be the fastest team in the midfield, despite some hiccups at the opening two races in Austria.

In 2018, Perez held talks with Haas regarding a 2019 race deal during a positive season for the American squad, before he opted to re-sign with Force India.

Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen are both out of contract at the end of the year, however Haas is still yet to commit long-term to the sport.

Alfa Romeo currently runs with Kimi Raikkonen, who at 40 years of age, says he would like to stay in F1 if he is still having fun on the track.

He is paired up with Antonio Giovinazzi, who has scored five top-ten finishes in his 25 career grand prix starts.

However, Ferrari’s junior drivers Mick Schumacher, Robert Shwartzman and Marcus Armstrong, who are all racing in F2 this year, have also been linked with an F1 promotion to Alfa Romeo next year.

Racing Point flattered by Vettel’s interest

Racing Point’s Otmar Szafnauer recently said he was “flattered” by the Ferrari driver’s interest in a possible move to the squad based in Silverstone, but also pointed out that a racing seat would have to be available by that time.

Racing Point has indicated several times within the past couple of months that Perez and Lance Stroll, the son of team owner Lawrence Stroll, are set to remain with the team. Although a departure from the Canadian driver seems unrealistic, Perez’ future with the team is becoming uncertain.
