Sergio Perez isn’t bound to his current team, Force India, and would make the jump to a rival if a better opportunity presented itself.
The Mexican enjoyed his best season in Formula 1 in 2015, finishing ninth in the championship with 78 points, 20 ahead of his highly-rated team-mate, Nico Hulkenberg.
Whilst admitting it would be good to climb the grid with Force India, he wouldn’t rule out a switch if a better opportunity comes along, offering a greater chance of success.
“I am still young, I have hopefully a long career ahead of me, and I’m facing a very important year in my career that hopefully can put me in a great position for the future,” he told Motorsport.
“It will be great if we can become a top team and suddenly we are fighting for world championships and for victories – then it will be a great place to stay.
“[It] would be fantastic to move up the grid [together], but if another opportunity comes in the future, it wouldn’t be that bad as well.”
