Although by the end of this season Sergio Perez will have made 114 grand prix starts, he believes he has a lot to learn from his new rookie teammate Esteban Ocon who will replace Nico Hulkenberg t Force India in 2017.
Perez told ESPN, “Everything that I heard about him was very impressive. The team was very impressed and enthusiastic. They really liked his personality – the way he interacts with the team, the feedback he gives and he is meant to be very easy to work with. The team was always very happy when they spoke about him.
“I had three great years with Nico and I learn a lot from him and now I look forward to learning a lot from Esteban. It is always good to learn things from different drivers.”
“I have been very lucky to have very talented drivers next to me and so now having Esteban, it is a great opportunity to learn new things from a young driver.”
“I will be open to learn from him and if he is the same, it is up to him. If he wants to learn, I will be totally open as I have been with all of my teammates. I just want to obviously beat him but work together a lot for the team.”
“I think that is very important and it has worked really well the last few years with Nico and myself, pushing each other on track, but off track always helping the team to go forward,” added the Mexican ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend where he will partner Hulkenberg for the final time at Force India.
