SergioPérez

Age 30

Debut Australia

2011

Starts 176

Best result 2nd

Podiums 8

Best season 7th (2016, 2017)

After a sequence of single-year deals,

SergioPérez recently committed his

long-term futureto RacingPoint, the

team he has been with since 2014 (in its

previous incarnation asForce India). It’s a

comfortable environmentfor the Mexican.

Popular within theteam and a steady pair

of hands, adept at securing whatever points

are on offer, he shuns internal politics.Pérez

knows he’s unlikelyto get a shot at atop

team again and would be delightedto help

lead RacingPoint back into the position of

‘best of the rest’. He’s the perfect mentor

for team-mate LanceStroll.

GP RACING VERDICT

Pérez can be relied uponto bring the car

home and score a decent haul of points, but

don’texpectVerstappen-esque fireworks.

LanceStroll

Age 21

2017

Best result 3rd

Podiums 1

Best season 12th (2017)

There arethose who like to makea big

deal of thefact that LanceStroll’s father

Lawrenceowns the team, but sucha

relationship is nothingnew in motor racing.

JackieStewart establishedPaul Stewart

Racingto help his son’s career. Nigel Mansell

did the same for sonsGreg andLeo in F3,

while in IndyCar, both Michael Andretti and

Graeme Chilton have fundedoutfitsto help

their sonsMarco and Max compete. Lance

often picksup lots of positions on the

openinglaps, but that’sgenerallybecause

he’s given to leaving time on the table in

qualifying – he needsto workon this.

GP RACING VERDICT

No one isexpecting Lanceto to pple his

team-mate just yet, but if he can qualify

better he’ll be showing solid progress.
