However, he recently stated, “He deserves to be in Formula 1 and I hope he can find a spot and we’re racing against him next year.” The statement simply elaborates on Szafnauer’s belief in the racer and his mettle.

Though Perez has pulled up Racing Point to almost every scorecard in 2020, his departure from Racing Point is unexplainable. Szafnauer has previously stated that ‘it wasn’t easy’ letting Checo go. He even added a bit on Checo being optimistic because of his comparison to the German sensation.

“He’s got loads of experience, he’s a tenacious racer come Sunday, he’s a good qualifier. Rarely makes mistakes, brings home the points and if there’s a sniff of a podium, he’s usually there.”
