Perez: The right man for the job?
A string of fine performances made him one of the hottest drivers on the Formula 1 market this year. But as AUTOSPORT's sister publication F1 Racing asks, is Sergio Perez the right man to step into Lewis Hamilton's shoes?
It's lap seven of the Japanese Grand Prix and Sergio Perez throws his Sauber up the inside of Lewis Hamilton's McLaren at the hairpin, locking his inside-front Pirelli but making the move stick.
It's a brilliant, instinctive pass and one that catches Hamilton napping.
13 laps later though, after stopping for another set of tyres, he's back behind the McLaren and looking for another opening.
