Sergio Perez has long established himself as one of F1's most consistent drivers. While he was unable to make the most of his first big break with McLaren in 2013, Perez was given a second opportunity at the front when he joined Red Bull in 2021.

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Perez began karting at the age of six, winning titles across several classes which attracted the interest of now long-time sponsor, Telmex. His first taste of cars would come in the form of the 2004 Skip Barber Racing Champion, held in the United States, where he ended up 11th.

Perez moved to Europe in 2005, where he competed in the ADAC Formula BMW Championship and finished 14th. He contested a single round of the A1 Grand Prix, becoming the third youngest driver to race in the series. Perez would spend the next two years competing with T-Sport in the British Formula 3 series, winning the national class and finishing fourth in the proper championship over that time. Two years in the GP2 Series and the GP2 Asia Series followed.

The Mexican made his Formula 1 debut with Sauber in 2011, but a tough rookie campaign would see him end the year in 16th. Perez burst onto the scene in the following year, though, as he finished on the podium three times while narrowly missing out on a win at the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix, where he finished second to Fernando Alonso. These performances earned him a seat at McLaren for 2013, though he was unable to capitalise on the opportunity and ended the campaign lower than he had at Sauber the previous year.

Perez then spent seven years with Force India and the rebranded Racing Point after the team were put into administration and purchased by a consortium of investors led by Lawrence Stroll. Over that time, he secured five podiums, including third at the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix.

However, the 2020 campaign brought about some change after Ferrari announced the signing of Carlos Sainz for 2021. As a result, Sebastian Vettel became available, and the allure of signing a former four-time World Champion proved too good for Stroll to turn down, leaving Perez the odd man out.

With no contract for 2021, Perez put in a series of high-level performances, culminating in a second place finish at the Turkish Grand Prix and a win at the Sakhir Grand Prix. The Mexican also finished fourth in the Drivers' Championship, a career-best so far. Perez's performances were enough to convince Red Bull, who opted to sign him as Alexander Albon's replacement for 2021.

Perez was not able to match the level of new teammate Max Verstappen in his debut season with the team, but played a strong supporting role, as well as taking a victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. He remained with the outfit in 2022 and added two more wins to his name in Monaco and Singapore.

While Verstappen proved dominant in the title fight, Perez finished the year in a career-best third place, and will be hoping to progress further in 2023 as he enters into his third season with Red Bull.
