Perez looks ahead to Austria: 'It will help me progress'

Sergio Pérez struggled in his early days at Red Bull Racing, but has increasingly shown he can keep up with the team's high standards in recent weeks. He hopes to maintain that lead during the Styrian Grand Prix.

Victory in Azerbaijan

Although he set an excellent result with third place in France on Sunday afternoon, he showed his best performance in Azerbaijan. The Mexican driver put in a rock-solid race and in this way captured his first victory for the Austrian racing stable.

"It was a positive weekend and it was great for the Team to take a double podium and score valuable points in the constructors championship. On my side I am still making progress and things are coming together but everything is going in the right direction," Perez explains in Red Bull Racing's official preview.

"As a Team we worked really well together in France. We made the strategy work and now we just need to keep it up. It’s time to look ahead and it’s still very early in the season so we need to keep working hard and treat every race as if it’s the last. The motivation from everybody is super high, and we’ll take this momentum forward to maximise our potential in the coming races."

Home race Red Bull

"I’m looking forward to racing for Red Bull at its home Grand Prix and we have two weekends now at the same track which I think will help me a lot in terms of progress and getting more experience in the car. The Team has done well here in the past so hopefully that form continues and we can get some good results," Perez finished.
