Sergio Perez says the rollercoaster month for the new-look Racing Point Force India squad hasn’t changed his si🥃tuation as he expects to confirm his For🎉mula 1 future shortly.

Having been part of the process which triggered Force India’s administration and led to a takeover by a consortium led by Lawrence Stroll, Perez headed up the team’s charge at the🎃 Belgium Grand Prix having lost its F1 world constructors’ champio꧟nship points following its new team entry status.

The new F1 team produced its strongest performance of the season with Perez taking fifth place ahead of teammate Esteban Ocon to see the Silverstone-based squad notch up enough points to overhaul Williams and move to one point off Saube🏅r in the standings.

Perez says the impressive results acted as a presꦗsure relief for the entire team and feels the events which have uღnfolded won’t have a bearing on his F1 future having confirmed he had a contract signed in Belgium.

“It was great to see everyone so happy after the tension that we had, not knowing what was going on with all the jobs🌃, including mine and so on,” Perez said. “It was great to get that kind of result for the team, it shows the potential my team has, I was so proud of that performance.

“In terms of my position, it doesn’t change. I’ve got a contract. I’ve got to keep performing and keep delivering at my best, to try and score as many points as possible for the team, to try to get as further up on the grid. It doesn’t change♔ from that perspective.”

Perez is also confident of replicating Force India’s pace at Monza from Spa-Francorcha🦄mps to maintain i🃏ts new-found momentum.

“I think we have a competit🦋ive car, we proved that in Belgium,” he said. “We’re coming to a similar track in terms of what you run🧸 around here so we should be quite competitive.

“The a🍷im is still the same, to try to be the best of th﷽e rest and we have a chance of doing that again.”
