The recent new contract Sergio Perez signed with Red Bull ensures his participation in Formula 1 through the end of 2024, but the Mexican has also considered about his career after the sport.
Due to the pleasure he finds in other parts of his life, Sergio Perez thinks that when the time comes, quitting Formula 1 will not be challenging for him.
With a new contract negotiated with Red Bull previously this year, the Mexican has locked down his place in the motorsport through at least the end of 2024.
Perez does not currently envisage himself leaving Formula One when his recent contract expires. He will be 34 years old at that time.
“I still have a contract until 2024, but I can’t imagine that I will end my career then,” Perez told German publication Sport Bild.
“I’m too young for that and still have too much fun. Even if the sport takes up a lot of time. But that’s how it is.
“Formula 1 becomes your life. And you can’t just leave that behind. And yet, in the end, it won’t be difficult for me.”
Perez considers “wonderful moments” outside of Formula One
In response to the question of why he doesn’t anticipate having trouble quitting the sport, Perez acknowledges that some of his most memorable experiences have occurred off the racetrack, with his family life standing out in particular.
“The most beautiful moments of my life have nothing to do with racing,” the father-of-three said.
“The birth of my children, for example. But even the simple things mean a lot to me.
“When I get a taco for 20 pesos [0.95 euros] in Mexico and spend time with my family, those are moments that you don’t experience like that in Formula 1.”
How Perez’s 2022 is shaping up
Perez has no immediate intentions of retiring and is instead focusing on the 2022 season. He is currently third in the World Championship rankings with 173 points, just five points behind Charles Leclerc in second.
Max Verstappen, a Red Bull teammate, is still in first place with an 80-point lead over Leclerc.
Perez’s victory in Monaco has been his finest performance of the season so far, and he has also earned five further podium places.
Red Bull now leads the Constructors’ Championship with a robust 431 points, giving them a lead of 97 points over Ferrari’s closest challengers.
