Perez says he’s fully recovered

Sergio Perez says the summer break enabled him to completely recover from his violent accident at Monaco, with the teams enjoying a three week holiday after the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Sauber man has never driven an F1 car at Spa-Francorchamps before, but he is confident of a strong result following his success in previous categories.

"After quite a long break when everybody was on holiday, it is nice to get back into the car again and to the race rhythm," the Mexican commented.

"I’m very much looking forward to the Belgian Grand Prix. Spa is a very special place. I think we can pick up again the momentum from before the race in Hungary, and do well there. It is one of my favorite circuits because I love Eau Rouge and the other fast corners.

"I won in Spa in Formula 3, and also last year in GP2. Personally the break was good for me to fully recover from the Monaco accident."
