Force India driver Sergio Pérez thinks that his team has to be perfect if they want to overtake McLaren in the constructors' championship, as the British team are 15 points ahead with just two races to go.

Pérez looked to be getting some points on the board in his native Mexico, but drama struck as his gearbox gave up and he had to retire, despite climbing through the midfield throughout the race.

“Unfortunately we lost a lot of points [in Mexico]," Pérez was quoted by Crash.net 

"It was an easy P7 if not P6 so yeah that’s a big shame and a lot of points also.

“There are only two races left so we will try to be perfect in these next two coming weekends.”

Speaking on how he thinks his team should go about beating McLaren and the rest of midfield, Pérez was quick to remind everyone of his P7 qualifying performance in Singapore.

“It’s so close if you out-strategy them you beat them,” he continued.

“It’s like Singapore, I was best of the rest in qualifying but then but then the wrong tyre for the race and that meant no points.

“It’s so close and so interesting the midfield, I wish the whole of Formula 1 was like this. Weekend by weekend it’s basically the driver having everything perfect, you can make the difference in that midfield.”
