There is a lot of buzz surrounding Sergio Perez’s impending arrival at Red Bull since they announced their lineup for 2021. Though we are still a long way off from on-track action, teams get to work in January to prepare for the season. And it looks like Perez is on his first assignment with the team.

The Austrian outfit’s Twitter handle gave a sneak peek of the Mexican driver in one of their offices.

Though the PR team has smartly blurred the video, it looks like Sergio Perez chatting with team principal Christian Horner. The video also has the text ‘We have a visitor’ all over the screen.

But it was not the only thinly veiled hint they gave throughout the day. In a separate tweet, they show him taking what looks like a tour of the facility. To put the icing on the cake, they cheekily asked their fanbase to guess the person in question.

And to really give close out this sequence of tweets, they taped him having a seat fit of the car. As if we needed any more vindication that it is indeed Perez!

“In his first year in GP2, he was always stronger in races than in qualifying. He had the determination to never give up. Sergio was like a young dog with a bone. I think that has become his trademark in terms of racing.”
