MOTORSPORT – SERGIO Perez said he had nothing to prove and just wanted to enjoy racing again after Cadillac announced the Mexican’s Formula One comeback next season.
Perez spoke of his excitement in the Cadillac project after signing for the newcomers with similarly experienced teammate Valtteri Bottas.
“My main target is to enjoy it (again),” Perez told reporters in a video call with Bottas alongside. “I want to get back to the enjoyment and this project just brings me that excitement back.
“I couldn’t afford to leave the way I left the sport, you know, and this is why I’m coming back with this new project.”
Bottas said there would be no rivalry between the pair.
“We’re here to work together. We don’t need to prove anything to each other,” said the 10-times race winner and former championship runner-up to Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.
“I have respect for Checo, I know he’s got respect for me, so we are in this together and really trying to guide the team forward and give everything to the team.”
