Racing ♓Point owner Lawrence Stroll hopes Sergio Perez lands a seat with Red Bull for the 2021 Formula 1 season following his departure from the Silverstone outfit. 

Perez has been dropped by Racing Point just a season into a newly-signed three-year deal in favour of a move for four-time world chamꦆpion Sebastian Vettel, who will arrive from Ferrari to partner Lance Stroll as the team rebrands to Aston Martin next year. 

Desp✅ite a mightily impressive 2020 - which sees Perez occupy fourth place in the championship heading into t🉐he final round in Abu Dhabi - the Mexican does not have a drive secured for next season, with Red Bull his last-remaining option for a race seat as it weighs up whether to retain Alex Albon alongside Max Verstappen.

Following his shock maiden victory in Bahrain, Stroll believes that Perez “deserves” to secure a fr꧒ont-running drive with Red Bull for 2021.&n🔯bsp;

“Checo has been a fantastic asset,” Stroll told Sky. “He’s been an ꦐasset for this team a long time before I’ve arrived.

“I th💫ink he most definitely proves every weekend he deserves to be in the car next year and I hope he’s in that Red Bull next year.”

And Stroll is hop꧃eful of replicating more performances like Racing Point’s 1-3 finish in Ba𝐆hrain in the future under its new Aston Martin guise.

“What people forget is it already was a grea☂t team we purchased,” Stroll explained. 

“They were 400 guys, half the amount of staff of most of our competition, less than half of the budget, and they managed to finish a couple of year🐬s fourth in a row. So it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that they’re able to accomplish this today.

“I brought some funding that the team desperately needed to be more competitive and I brought some leadership skills with me that helped the team be more competitive. Today and, hopefully, many more days like today in the future, is th♓e result.”
