Perez: "Adding more points this weekend is very important"

Going into the final couple of races, there is plenty left for Sergio Perez to fight for, both in the drivers' championship and the constructors' championship. Brazil and Abu Dhabi are the final two races left this season as the F1 calendar begins to draw to a close.

The Mexican is tenth in the drivers' standings at present, just two points behind Daniel Ricciardo, while Racing Point is sixth in the constructors' championship, one point ahead of Toro Rosso.

“When you arrive in Brazil, you know the season is nearing the end. It’s the time of the year when it’s getting close in the championship," Perez told Racing Point's race preview.

"We still have a chance to fight for fifth, so adding more points this weekend is very important.

“I like being in Brazil and in some ways, it reminds me of Mexico. The people are very warm and relaxed, and they love F1 just as much as the Mexican fans.

"They are always having a party in the grandstands."
