CLARK AND NASIR ARE ALL ABOUT FORMULA LCH THIS WEEKEND AT SILVERSTONE THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL THERE BE RAIN! WILL WILLIAMS GET A POINT WILL THE PINK CARS GET ON THE PODIUM?

SERGIO PEREZ ON THIS WEEKENDS GRAND PRIX…

Q: What’s it like racing at the team’s home event?

SP: “It always makes me feel proud to race at Silverstone. Knowing I’m driving a car that nearly 500 people helped design and build in a factory just across the road gives me extra motivation to do well as a ‘thank you’ to everyone in the team. It can be quite an emotional event for all of us.”

Q: Will it feel strange to be racing in front of empty grandstands at Silverstone?

SP: “We will definitely miss the fans here. They are some of the most knowledgeable in Formula 1. Some of them even remember when you raced here in the lower categories! We’re missing the fans at every race we go to – but the passion of the British fans is really amazing, so it will feel very strange.”

Q: The team currently sits P4 in the standings. Is that where you expected to be after three races?

SP: “It’s great to be up there fighting at the front again. We had a tough year in 2019 and it shows that all the hard work we did over the winter to put that right was worth it. We’ve made a good start – but I think even more is possible. We’ve had some bad luck so far and the best is yet to come.”
