Formula 1 | Perez is aiming for a return to rather than a move to Formula E

Nothing is stopping Sergio Perez from returning to Formula 1 after a sabbatical.

That's the view of his father Antonio Perez Garibay, a Mexican politician who played a central role in the former Red Bull driver's career.

For now, having lost his seat for 2025, Perez insists he is happy to be at home with his young family and is not making any decisions about his next challenge for six months.

His father, however, recently floated the idea of ​​a move to Formula E. But he acknowledges that Perez is happy for now.

“Checo has been doing karting since he was 8 years old and racing cars every weekend until today when he stopped competing in Formula 1.”

“Otherwise, he would have had to take care of the whole question of training this winter, in addition to the suits, the caps, the whole question of sponsors, merchandising. So today there is a bit of relaxation . He's going slowly.”

“As he said, he will wait these six months. And if a good opportunity presents itself, he will take it.”

Perez Garibay is now moving away from his previous hint at a move to Formula E, instead suggesting that the idea of ​​a gap year from Formula 1 is the preferred route.

“I mentioned Formula E because I went there recently and I was told that Checo would be very well received there. So it's certainly an option, like others, if he doesn't return to Formula E. .”

“But F1 remains his dream, his desire, it's what he aims first for his return to competition. Look at how many Formula 1 drivers have taken one or more sabbatical years and come back. Niki Lauda did it, Kimi Raikkonen did it, Fernando Alonso did it. Many drivers have done it and they are coming back stronger than ever.

“I have no doubt that a good opportunity will present itself for Checo to return for several more years. He deserves to say goodbye like the grown-ups.”
