The Sauber F1 Team is pleased to announce that Pascal Wehrlein will complete the team’s driver line-up for the 2017 Formula One World Championship. He will race alongside Swede Marcus Ericsson who continues with the Swiss team.
Doesn't sound like Williams either does it. Who in modern F1 would describe a move to a mid-field Williams team as "what I always wanted"...??ChrisDanger wrote:Unusual quote from Perez.
Sounds like a change. He's hoping to announce by Singapore (on the 16-18th).Sergio Perez said, not wrote: "It looks like what is going to happen is what I always wanted so I am very happy for that."
Sauce.
Long shot but:Manoah2u wrote:A quote like that to me sounds like Perez will move to Renault.
btw, 'what i always wanted' does not neccesarily reflect childhood dreams, rather what he wanted for 2017 or past 2016.....perhaps a 'clear' NR1 driver status hoping to emulate Alonso's Renault days? I think Perez to Renault sounds fitting in this case, as long as they will actually make something worthwile. Renault HAS announced to start slamming a whopping load more of money to the F1 project for 2017, Perez brings a bunchload of Carlos Slim millions to the table, so it might be something to ponder about.
Renault : Perez & Nasr? Ocon?
Williams: Bottas & VanDoorne/Button/Nasr?
Mclaren: Alonso & VanDoorne/Button?
Nobody would dream of driving for a team like HAAS some one who drove for McLaren wouldn't say what Perez said and be talking about HAAS and a MAYBE driving competition with Romain for a MAYBE drive at Ferrari.NL_Fer wrote:What about the Haas seat? Replace Guitierez and compete with Grosjean for Raikkonens seat in 2018.
Although i expext the 2017 Renault to be a contender for the 4th WCC position. This years car is just a mediocre chassis built for a Mercedes engine and probably all effort is put into next years car, together with the excelent progress the engine is making a nr1 driver for Renault could be were some people has dreamt of.
I am between this and Renault. I will prefer him in Renault(alongside Sainz), I would love this line-up.dans79 wrote:My guess is Button to Williams for one year, and Perez back to Mclaren in the hopes that they are a front running team again next year. Button retires next year with the record for most races started, and Perez will ship off to Ferrari to replace a retiring Raikkonen.
Losing Vandoorne to get Perez sounds like a pretty bad trade to me.dans79 wrote:My guess is Button to Williams for one year, and Perez back to Mclaren in the hopes that they are a front running team again next year.

That's amusing Mclaren thinks he's ready. Also, they might prefer a driver with more f1 millage under his belt, to help develope the car before they bring Vandoorne in.Cold Fussion wrote: Losing Vandoorne to get Perez sounds like a pretty bad trade to me.
But Vandoorne is Mclaren´s jewel and I dont think that they want to loose him.dans79 wrote:That's amusing Mclaren thinks he's ready.
