Perez obviously does not still have a seat for the F1 2021 season, which is a massive disappointment. Over the course of the season, he was linked to many teams, but nothing has materialized so far.
He has now spoken about possibly re-entering the fray again in 2022, should he fail to secure a seat for next year. However, after the impressive showing in the last few races, he has revealed his motivation to stay in the premier division of motorsports.
