F1 News: Perez will take 6 months to decide on return to racing

After being sacked by the Red Bull F1 team, Sergio Perez has broken his silence about what comes next in his life – racing or retirement.

Having maintained his silence since then, Perez has finally spoken about what comes next for him.

“My priority is to enjoy myself, to do things I haven’t done, to be with my family,” he told ESPN Deportes.

“In the next six months, I will make a decision on what I want for the next step in my career.”

“It’s too early to give an answer as to whether I intend to return to Formula 1,” he insisted.

“Everything happened very quickly at the end of last season, I didn’t expect to leave the team.”

“My biggest motivation now is to take my children on a good path and be more present in their lives,” he said.

“I am very excited to be with my family because in F1 you only think about being a better driver, preparing yourself better, you don’t have time for anything else.”

“I have a soccer tournament with Checo [his son] in three weeks and we are going to travel around Mexico,” he added.

“My biggest motivation is that we do well in his tournament, that I can enjoy it a lot with my son.”
