Sergio Perez targets to beat Jenson Button in 2013 – Formula 1 news
McLaren driver Sergio Perez has said that he is desperately looking forward to win his first race in the 2013 Formula 1 season and is targeting to beat his teammate, Jenson Button.
Perez performed convincingly well with Sauber during the preceding season. He impressed everyone with his remarkable performance in the rain-hit 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix held at Sepang International Circuit in which he secured an incredible second podium
finish behind Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.
In addition, he secured two more podium finishes in the last season and scored some competitive points for his team. However, he failed to keep up the level of consistency in his performance and struggled a lot after signing his multi-year deal with the
Woking based team.
The Mexican driver has joined McLaren as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement in this season. On the other hand, Hamilton has moved to Mercedes and will be driving alongside Nico Rosberg.
The 23-year-old has expressed that he is earnestly looking forward to claim his maiden victory in this season for which he has always dreamt for in his life.
“As a Formula One driver, you dream to win your first race,” Perez is quoted by Reuters. “It's something you have dreamed of all your life. I have no idea what it feels like. I have to be honest, I am desperate for winning. I haven't won a race yet in my
career so I am desperate to get a win.”
Moreover, he said that it is extremely important for him to perform consistently well throughout the season in order to score good points for his team.
“I need to be consistent, I need to score points and I know the win will come at some point,” he said.
Besides, he asserted that he is aiming to compete well with all his rivals in this season and is targeting to beat the 2009 world champion.
“My target is to beat Jenson and to beat all the others,” he added.
It will be thrilling to see how Perez performs in this season and whether he will be able to achieve his goals or not.
