“I don’t need to be here anymore, you know. I am here because I still fully believe that I can become world champion. Also, of course, because I enjoy working with my team, that’s all. Therefore, I am very grateful that Red Bull has extended my contract,” Checo Pérez told the TAG Heuer Podcast.

Finally ‘Checo’ added that he feels ready for a new season with Red Bull, since he has been able to consolidate himself within the team, forming a great team with each of the members, so he enjoys the work he has.

“The group of people here, the engineers, the Red Bull culture; it’s a great brand. That involves more work than I’m used to, but I really enjoy it. I feel like I’m a big part of this. I work well with Max and with the engineers, in fact with the whole team.”
