Sergio Perez announced last night that he will no longer ride for Racing Point in 2021. The following morning it was immediately revealed that Sebastian Vettel will be driving for the team in 2021, which will continue under the name Aston Martin F1 team from that year onwards. Many fans are happy with the decision and the team also seems to be satisfied with the decision, but Sergio Perez' Instagram seems to indicate otherwise.

On Instagram, the Mexican also announced that he had to look for a new team. One of his mechanics responded as follows: "I'm gutted mate, you know that. Our whole team is disappointed". The team clearly does not agree with the decision to remove Perez from the team before 2021.

Late decision for team members

Perez then tries to make up for it to some extent. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". The message from his mechanic suggests that it was a hasty decision of the team to announce Vettel and that the team was not yet fully aware of the driver change.
