Is Perez finally on his way to Red Bull Racing? "You have to! Come on Helmut!"

Sergio Perez's victory means a lot. Not only as an isolated moment of joy for himself and Mexico but possibly also for his future in Formula 1. Robert Doornbos, who last week thought that Albon would keep his seat for 2021, thinks that Helmut Marko should now opt to sign Perez.

“With such an impact and then that race pace and just do it. Actually, he had already been on the podium last week, so that's just three podiums in a row. [Would have been four counting this week, Bahrain GP, Turkish GP and Imola] So yes, this is a legendary race, I really enjoyed it," said Doornbos in the studio of Ziggo Sport.

Giedo van der Garde, who was once Perez's teammate in GP2, also hopes that Red Bull Racing will now opt for Perez. "I hope so for him, because of course he did a world race today, hats off."
