He completed a seat fit, met members of his engineering crew and has already driven the RB16 car on the simulator.After getting an initial impression of how Red Bull operates, the 30-year-old has suggested some ideas to help the team make a step forward in 2021. “I’ve been in the sport in different teams and in different eras,” Perez said in his first video interview since arriving at Red Bull.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Ferrari F1 junior Armstrong switches to DAMS for 2021 F2 seasonaccImages.createImage(); Williams should aim to jump Haas and Alfa Romeo in F1 2021 – Russell”I think I know what I need from myself, but I also feel that I can push the team forwards in certain areas, just by talking to the team.”I think we know the direction.

Obviously I’ve been seven years with a team so it feels a bit different. It’s like a dog finding a new family. You’ve been with a family for so many years and you’re used to seeing them and then all of a sudden you are changing.“But I have to say, I’m starting to feel very comfortable here. It’s a fantastic team, very united, and I can see that there’s a lot of fun ahead of us.”4“It’s just a dream come true working with Adrian [Newey], with the amount of engineers. And the level of engineering inside this team is very impressive.”SI202101200075_hires_jpeg_24bit_rgb.jpg accImages.createImage();
