If F1 rumors were given any importance, this weekend would have seen the confirmation of a deal between Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/] and Racing Point. However, it looks like the rumors are set to disappear as quickly as they cropped up. Sergio Perez, the man whose F1 seat is allegedly at risk, dismissed rumors with a bold revelation. Perez may have won the battle against COVID-19, but he’s yet to deal with a ruthless barrage of questions at every race weekend. Ever since the media caught a whiff of talks between Vettel and Aston Martin, they have directed all sorts of questions at him. SERGIO PEREZ ISN’T TALKING TO ANY OTHER F1 TEAMS Credit to the Mexican, he’s been relatively calm and nonchalant about the entire affair. Perez has consistently maintained and reiterated that the team isn’t looking for a change next year. Nothing new here, except the Mexican also made it public that he wasn’t with talks with other F1 teams for 2021. “All the feedback that I get, it’s really positive,” Perez said [https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/151698/perez-not-talking-to-rival-f1-teams]. “So I stay with that, and that’s where my confidence comes from, and where we stay calm. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/pesc.jpg] “It’s a situation that is out of my hands, so I don’t even bother at all. I focus on racing, enjoy it, and whatever happens, it’s out of my hands, so I don’t even give attention to it.” “No,” asserted Perez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/], when quizzed about holding talks with other teams. “The feedback that I get from within the team is that we all want to continue.” There were reports of Perez reportedly edging towards a move to Alfa Romeo if talks with Racing Point were to fall through. As we know now, Perez is more than confident of keeping his prized drive over the course of the next season. “We don’t see the reason why we should change anything. [I] don’t see any reason to change. I think we are enjoying a great season on-track, and things are working really well in the team. I don’t expect any change.” If Perez’s remarks are the absolute truth, Sebastian Vettel is out of options for 2021. The German’s made it clear that he’s interested in ‘winning’. And he may just have lost the only seat that could have helped him materialize that dream. 

Sergio Perez may have just dashed Sebastian Vettel's dreams of joining Aston
Martin in 2021 with a bold statement.

<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium, has hosted various veins of motorsports. The authorities have kept a close eye on maintaining the perfect form of the track, and it has hence been refurbished several times.

The circuit, at present, after the addition of new pit lanes and Bus Stop chicane, measures 7.004 kilometers with 19 turns. It comprises 44 laps with a racing distance of 308.052 kilometers. The grid has quick, complicated, tricky corners, chicanes, turns, and bridges. The first sector is the interesting of all. The hairpin turn 1 is famous for pile-ups during race starts.

And then arrives the world-famous Eau Rouge, which witnesses a steep rise in altitude, almost leaving the drivers facing the sky followed by a massive Kemmel straight, before reaching the tricky section of corners, named Les Combes.

Despite the unprecedented weather situation, it is a beloved track. The circuit demands proper development of skills and strategies along with the speed to stand tall in the race.

It has produced several dramatic and historic races in its term of existence, like in the years 1952, 1963, 1966, 1985, 1995, and 2017. The race for the last race at Spa-Francorchamps went to Lewis Hamilton on August 30, 2020.

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time Formula One World Champion. He is among the most likable personalities on the grid. He made his Formula One debut in 2007 in a one-off appearance as a replacement for an injured <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-kubica/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert Kubica</a>. The same year saw him join the ranks of the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Toro Rosso</a> team, effectively replacing Scott Speed. In 2008, he took his first victory, which still stands as the team's only race victory. In 2009, he graduated to Red Bull F1 and stayed with the team until the end of 2014, before moving to Ferrari. His Red Bull stint saw him scale four back-to-back championships between 2010 and 2013.

Back in his Red Bull days, Sebastian Vettel's helmet game was on another level. While the FIA has repealed its controversial helmet change rule, Vettel would turn up to Grand Prix events with some of the coolest lids on the grid.

Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel: On-track Achievements</strong></h3>
His 2008 race victory in Monza and further progress at an early age ensured that he has a lot of records to his name. Sebastian Vettel is the youngest driver to score a pole position, a race victory, a double (pole + race), and a triple (pole + race + fastest lap). His 13 race victories in 2013 and 15 pole positions in 2011, still stand as the highest race victories and pole positions in a season, respectively.

While he holds a long list of accolades in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel is also one of the wittiest drivers on the grid. His perfectly timed quips and witty jabs during team radio messages and interviews have become a big hit among the fans.

<h3>Sebastian Vettel: Net Worth 2022</h3>
His contract with Ferrari in 2020 put his annual <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/sebastian-vettel/#4373508e53f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salary</a> to $36.3 million along with bonuses, making him one of the richest drivers on the F1 grid. The length of his contract ran till the end of 2020. He's driven for two very rich teams: Red Bull with their massive budget and Ferrari with their legacy, ensuring his lifetime earnings at <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/sebastian-vettel-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$140 million</a>.

Further, he signed a contract with Aston Martin for the 2021 season. The fact that Aston Martin is a mid-field outfit forced Vettel in obliging to a massive pay-cut. The German is reportedly receiving a salary of $15M, without bonuses. Nevertheless, Vettel is still the 5th highest <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/?sh=e868db011828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid</a> driver on the grid in 2021, just behind his predecessor, Sergio Perez. As of 2022, Vettel will receive a salary of $13M from Aston Martin.

However, his Ferrari stint wasn't nearly as successful. Joining the team in early 2015, Vettel was the guiding light that Ferrari needed after a dismal 2014 season. One could argue that Vettel resurrected Ferrari in the turbo-hybrid era of Formula 1.

Despite getting off to a positive start, Sebastian's Ferrari journey was full of ups and downs. He endured a difficult season in 2016 - scoring no wins and driving a car that wasn't very competitive.

However, things changed in 2017. The SF70h was more than a match for the Mercedes W08 and for the first time in the turbo-hybrid era, Ferrari could challenge Mercedes for the Championship.

While Ferrari and Vettel made good progress in the first half of 2017, the quest to end Mercedes' domination fizzled in the latter half of the season. Mercedes made a big step up in car development. Furthermore, a series of reliability issues and driver mistakes effectively ended the Scuderia's hopes of Championship that year.

But the team went back to the drawing board of developed a monster of a car for the 2018 season. The SF71h seemed destined to put an end to Mercedes's winning streak, but a sequence of driver errors meant it was not to be.

Vettel came agonizingly close to clinching his first Championship with Ferrari in 2018, but his campaign fell apart towards the end of the season.

2019 was a difficult season for the German driver. Vettel had to put up with a younger, much faster teammate in Charles Leclerc while racing in a car that was uncompetitive and unsuited to his driving style. Scoring only a single win, Sebastian ended the season fifth in the Drivers' Championship.

The equation between Vettel and teammate <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charles Leclerc</a> gave the team enough trouble.

The 2020 season was put on hold due to COVID-19 but Vettel dropped a bombshell regarding his future at Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel officially announced that he and Ferrari would not be renewing their contract for 2021 and beyond. At the end of the  2020 season, Vettel and Ferrari parted ways.

Despite the failed quest with Ferrari, Vettel can look back at his time with the Reds with pride. The German currently sits third in the list of all-time wins for the Scuderia. Only behind F1 legends - Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda. So far, Vettel has scored 57 Pole Positions and clinched 53 wins in his F1 career.

While it looked like Vettel might announce his retirement following the 2020 season, what arrived was rather a surprising announcement from the returning F1 team, Aston Martin. The British outfit announced Vettel as a part of their driver's line-up for 2021 replacing Sergio Perez.

In September 2021, Aston Martin affirmed that Vettel's contract had the option of extending his presence by another year. Hence, the team decided to stick with the German at least until the end of 2022.

Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Ferrari&#8217;s Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time Formula One World Champion. He is among the most likable personalities on the grid. He made his Formula One debut in 2007 in a one-off appearance as a replacement for an injured Robert Kubica. The same year saw him join the ranks of the Toro Rosso team, effectively replacing Scott Speed. In 2008, he took his first victory, which still stands as the team&#8217;s only race victory. In 2009, he graduated to Red Bull F1 and stayed with the team until the end of 2014, before moving to Ferrari. His Red Bull stint saw him scale four back-to-back championships between 2010 and 2013. Back in his Red Bull days, Sebastian Vettel&#8217;s helmet game was on another level. While the FIA has repealed its controversial helmet change rule, Vettel would turn up to Grand Prix events with some of the coolest lids on the grid. Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

His 13 race victories in 2013 and 15 pole positions in 2011, still stand as the highest race victories and pole positions in a season, respectively.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Who is Sergio Perez?</h2>
Sergio Perez, also known as one of the best players in Formula 1, is a member of Red Bull Racing. At the age of 34, Perez has already left an undeniable mark in the racing realm owing to his successful performances with Sauber, McLaren, Force India, and Racing Point. Regarded affectionately as Checo PÃ©rez, the F1 racer has brought much acclaim to his country, Mexico. Not only does Perez hold many impressive records owing to his talent at the race track but also stands tall as one of the highest-paid Formula 1 drivers. However, all of this did not come easy for the athlete.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Sergio Perez Early Life</h2>
The F1 driver was born in Guadalajara, the capital city of Jalisco in Mexico. Sergio Perez was born on 26 January 1990 to Antonio PÃ©rez Garibay and MarilÃº Mendoza de PÃ©rez. Checo Perez is the youngest in his family with an elder sister, Paola, and an older brother, Antonio. It seems like race car driving is in the Perez family blood as even Antonio Perez competed in the NASCAR Mexico series before retiring. While his educational qualifications are not much known, Perez has himself stated that if not a race car driver he would have been a lawyer.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Sergio Perez's Wife and Children</strong></h2>
A beyond-the-track look at the athlete's life indicates that a major reason behind his success comes from his supportive family. Sergio Perez had been in a long-term relationship with Carola Martinez from his homeland, Guadalajara, before tying the knot with her in 2018. The F1 driver proposed to his now-wife in 2017, however, that was not the only significant development in his personal life that year. Sergio Perez welcomed his first child, Sergio Jr, in December of 2017. Since then, Sergio Perez and Carola Martinez have had three more kids. Although the name of his youngest child is yet to be announced to the public, his kids are named Sergio Jr, Carlota, and Emilio<strong>.</strong>

The Mexican isÂ reportedly worth $70 Million, and his annual salary in 2024 is believed to be $10 Million. As of 2024. Perez is among the highest-earning drivers on the grid, only behind Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Fernando Alonso. Perez's salary under Red Bull is likely to be around $26 Million which includes $16 million-worth bonuses.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sergio Perezâ€™sÂ  Career Timeline</b></h2>
Before joining F1 in 2011, Sergio Perez was devoted to karting. In fact, he had been karting since 1996. he made his foray into racing thanks to Â Mexican businessman Carlos Slimâ€™s Escuderia Telmex who led him to the Skip Barber series in the USA. In 2007, during his time in Britain, Perez bagged the national championship at the junior level. Sergio Perez debuted in Formula One in 2011 with the Sauber team. The Mexican's signing was a result ofÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sauber</a> announcing a partnership with telecommunications company Telmex. Up until 2012, he was a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

He stayed with the Swiss outfit for two years and jumped ship toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_self" rel="noopener">McLaren</a>Â in 2013, but suffered a very poor run that year.

<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-12-10T121951Z_2118410278_RC2CKK9GKDHM_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" />

A year later, he moved to Force India and stayed there until this season. He partnered Nico Hulkenberg for three years until the latter left for Renault. He then partnered Esteban Ocon for two years before Ocon was ousted in favor of Lance Stroll for 2019. Hardly 2 seasons later, it was Perez's turn to leave the team, but, only this time, the Mexican had an offer from one of the top-field teams, Red Bull.

Sergio Perez's stint at Red Bull has been an absolute delight to watch, arguably one of the best decisions of his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sergio Perezâ€™s Contracts</b></h2>
Throughout his illustrious career, Sergio Perez's Red Bull contract seems to have taken the top spot in terms of the athlete's performance, achievement, and net worth. However, as 2024 rolls around, the contract's end is approaching closer. And while he has had some highs during his time with Red Bull, his lows were also unmissable. There are talks that the racer will sign a two-year extension with the team but for now nothing is certain.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sergio Perezâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
A huge sum of Sergio Perez's million-dollar net worth comes from his partnerships and endorsements. Being arguably the most successful Mexican racer, Perez has bagged massive deals with brands from his home country. The F1 racer booked himself a $1.3 Million by becoming a Jalisco brand ambassador. Other brands that have found a spot on his suits are Telcel, Telmex, Xades, Tag Heuer, Kavak, Banorte and Unifin.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Sergio Perez's Investments</h2>
"Checo" Perez not only knows how to make money but also how to effectively grow it, as evidenced by his smart investment. Although Perez does not have a long list of investments, unlike his counterparts, he has made some great choices. The most notable investment by the F1 racer is in the E1 series. The world's first electric boat racing series garnered a lot of attention from athletes around the world, and Sergio Perez did not hold back and currently stands as the owner of Team Mexico.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Sergio Perez's major achievements and awards</strong></h2>
Sergio Perez scored a podium in just his second season in Formula One, in the second race of 2012. During his stint with the Woking-based outfit, he could only manage a position as high as fifth. When he moved to Force India, he scored five podiums for the Indian outfit.

His highest position in the Drivers' Championship was seventh in 2016 and 2017. In his partnership with Hulkenberg, the two managed to help the team finish fourth in the 2016 Championship. Perez and Ocon repeated the feat once again in 2017.

Perez out qualified and outpaced his younger teammate Stroll to finish 1oth in the Drivers' Standings, scoring a respectable 52 points in a car that wasn't very competitive.

However, Perez faced a much stronger challenge from the Canadian in 2020. With the RP20 being strongly influenced by the 2019 championship-winning car, Racing Point zoomed ahead of the midfield with Perez and Stroll scoring points consistently.

The Mexican was forced to miss two races this season due to COVID-19 but bounced back with a stellar performance at the Spanish Grand Prix. Perez won his first race at the Sakhir Grand Prix.

On the first lap, Perez was hit by Leclerc and went from 2nd place to 18th and last. On lap 64, he took the lead and won the race ahead of Esteban Ocon and teammate Stroll. This was the first win for a Mexican driver since Pedro Rodriguez won the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix 50 years prior.

At the age of 34, Perez has already left an undeniable mark in the racing realm owing to his successful performances with Sauber, McLaren, Force India, and Racing Point. Regarded affectionately as Checo PÃ©rez, the F1 racer has brought much acclaim to his country, Mexico. Not only does Perez hold many impressive records owing to his talent at the race track but also stands tall as one of the highest-paid Formula 1 drivers. However, all of this did not come easy for the athlete. Sergio Perez Early Life The F1 driver was born in Guadalajara, the capital city of Jalisco in Mexico. Sergio Perez was born on 26 January 1990 to Antonio PÃ©rez Garibay and MarilÃº Mendoza de PÃ©rez. Checo Perez is the youngest in his family with an elder sister, Paola, and an older brother, Antonio.

Sergio Perez welcomed his first child, Sergio Jr, in December of 2017. Since then, Sergio Perez and Carola Martinez have had three more kids. Although the name of his youngest child is yet to be announced to the public, his kids are named Sergio Jr, Carlota, and Emilio.

Sergio Perezâ€™sÂ  Career Timeline Before joining F1 in 2011, Sergio Perez was devoted to karting. In fact, he had been karting since 1996. he made his foray into racing thanks to Â Mexican businessman Carlos Slimâ€™s Escuderia Telmex who led him to the Skip Barber series in the USA. In 2007, during his time in Britain, Perez bagged the national championship at the junior level. Sergio Perez debuted in Formula One in 2011 with the Sauber team. The Mexican&#8217;s signing was a result ofÂ Sauber announcing a partnership with telecommunications company Telmex. Up until 2012, he was a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy. He stayed with the Swiss outfit for two years and jumped ship toÂ McLarenÂ in 2013, but suffered a very poor run that year. A year later, he moved to Force India and stayed there until this season. He partnered Nico Hulkenberg for three years until the latter left for Renault. He then partnered Esteban Ocon for two years before Ocon was ousted in favor of Lance Stroll for 2019. Hardly 2 seasons later, it was Perez&#8217;s turn to leave the team, but, only this time, the Mexican had an offer from one of the top-field teams, Red Bull. Sergio Perez&#8217;s stint at Red Bull has been an absolute delight to watch, arguably one of the best decisions of his career.

However, as 2024 rolls around, the contract&#8217;s end is approaching closer. And while he has had some highs during his time with Red Bull, his lows were also unmissable. There are talks that the racer will sign a two-year extension with the team but for now nothing is certain.

Sergio Perez&#8217;s Investments &#8220;Checo&#8221; Perez not only knows how to make money but also how to effectively grow it, as evidenced by his smart investment. Although Perez does not have a long list of investments, unlike his counterparts, he has made some great choices. The most notable investment by the F1 racer is in the E1 series. The world&#8217;s first electric boat racing series garnered a lot of attention from athletes around the world, and Sergio Perez did not hold back and currently stands as the owner of Team Mexico. Sergio Perez&#8217;s major achievements and awards Sergio Perez scored a podium in just his second season in Formula One, in the second race of 2012. During his stint with the Woking-based outfit, he could only manage a position as high as fifth. When he moved to Force India, he scored five podiums for the Indian outfit. His highest position in the Drivers&#8217; Championship was seventh in 2016 and 2017. In his partnership with Hulkenberg, the two managed to help the team finish fourth in the 2016 Championship. Perez and Ocon repeated the feat once again in 2017. Perez out qualified and outpaced his younger teammate Stroll to finish 1oth in the Drivers&#8217; Standings, scoring a respectable 52 points in a car that wasn&#8217;t very competitive.

With the RP20 being strongly influenced by the 2019 championship-winning car, Racing Point zoomed ahead of the midfield with Perez and Stroll scoring points consistently. The Mexican was forced to miss two races this season due to COVID-19 but bounced back with a stellar performance at the Spanish Grand Prix. Perez won his first race at the Sakhir Grand Prix. On the first lap, Perez was hit by Leclerc and went from 2nd place to 18th and last. On lap 64, he took the lead and won the race ahead of Esteban Ocon and teammate Stroll. This was the first win for a Mexican driver since Pedro Rodriguez won the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix 50 years prior. Perez finished fourth in the Drivers&#8217; Championship in the 2020 season, his best-ever seasonal finish in F1. Perez is also in an intense battle for P3 in the championship along with Valtteri Bottas and Lando Norris in 2021. However, the &#8216;second driver curse&#8217; has often haunted Perez, resisting him from securing decent race finishes apart from the back-to-back strong points haul in France, Azerbaijan, and Monaco. Perez scored his first Red Bull podium at Le Castellet followed by his first Red Bull win at Baku and an incredible comeback drive in Monaco. So far, Sergio Perez has won 6 Grand Prix races and scored 35 podium finishes, and is on track to break many more records. Sergio Perez Charity and Foundation Back in 2012, Perez and his family founded the &#8216;Checo Perez Foundation&#8217;. Coming from a humble background in Mexico, Sergio Perez seized the opportunity to help the needy back in his homeland as soon as he had the means. While earlier, it was mostly dedicated to providing basic support and shelter to children who had been abandoned, in recent years the foundation has done impressive work in the mental wellness realm. Sergio Perez&#8217;s Car Collection When he is not busy breaking records on the track, Sergio Perez dedicates his time to amping up his already million-dollar car collection. His garage consists of a Bugatti Chiron, McLaren 720S, Mercedes Benz AMG, Porsche Panamera, and BMW X7.
