LOL, that's like a MUST HAVE on this forum.

Hopefully it'll be more civilised than Lewis V Jenson

I hope Sergio Perez really comes on strong at McLaren. After 2 second place finishes with Sauber this year, I'm optimistic he's a good choice.

I already said it in another thread....I would not be at all surprised to see perez take a win at his debut race for mclaren in australia. He has a good track record there so far

Of course it will be! The majority seem to love Perez and no one like Button.

Other Perez thread.....

I went out of my way looking for a That's Perez thread but the search engine on sucks! Too many Perez results and "that's" useless.

Couldn't decide on the McLaren or Perez thread. But I went for Perez.

Sergio seems well up for it. I have a sneaky feeling we might see this young chap on the podium on Sunday. I think he is gonna surprise many many people right from the start.
Those expecting him to do the tyre management trick might find that now he has the fast car he turns out to be more like Lewis than Jenson. Maybe the similar setups idea might not be the case

Interestingly enough though sounds like Button is already looking to him, and not as team leader to rookie but like with Lewis for example.

Pérez claimed that he had had a good response from Button who, he said, had been asking him questions. "It was quite a surprise. I didn't know Jenson that much but since my first day he has been asking questions about the car, how it feels, what I think.

"And this I find very interesting because I was not expecting a champion like him, with all the experience he has, to ask me any questions. But that is why he has had so much success throughout his career.

Lol you guys make me laugh. So Button is mentoring him and trying to work as a team by getting information out of Perez. I am sure Button could understand Perez's needs and get the info to the engineers better.

However the Button haters are out in force saying that Button is all at sea and asking the new guy what to do.

Here is a news flash for you I am sure Rosberg and your deity have had a similar conversation in the Mercedes briefing room.

Im not really seeing where that's come from Jabberwocky. There has been one post on here in a few months, and from how I read it, its someone saying Perez is not the rookie some people think, and that button has more respect for him than that (not unsurprising in a Perez Support Thread )

And then you bring up Button Haters....

That's a motivated young man right there. Viva Guadalajara!

ESPNF1; Sergio Perez says he is "desperate to get a win" when he starts his McLaren career this weekend.

After an impressive season with Sauber in 2012, Perez secured two second places but missed out on his best opportunity to win when failing to find a way past Fernando Alonso at the Malaysian Grand Prix. However, with a switch to McLaren opening up more chances to fight at the front, Perez admits he is "desperate" to reach the top step as soon as possible but won't try to force the issue.

"As a Formula One driver, you dream to win your first race," Perez is quoted by Reuters. "It's something you have dreamed of all your life. I have no idea what it feels like. I have to be honest, I am desperate for winning. I haven't won a race yet in my (Formula One) career so I am desperate to get a win.

"But when I ... start the season I will just drive normally, I will not be driving desperately to get my win. I need to be consistent, I need to score points and I know the win will come at some point."

Far from just eyeing his first victory of his career this season, Perez said his aim is to win the drivers' championship.

"My target is to beat Jenson and to beat all the others," he said.

GO SERGIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

GO SERGIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah, if a McLaren has to win races this year I hope its the little Mexican.

[CookinFlat6]

SERGIO for PRESIDENT!

I just dont get how so many are under ratting him, he has the best chance of any newbie to win the WC since Lewis.

Why? because he is in a top team with a lame teammate, no Alonso or Kimi or Seb or Lewis
