"My belief is that he would be a better teammate for Verstappen," says Nimmervoll

Sergio Perez and Mick Schumacher are currently the two drivers who are both wanting a Formula 1 drive in 2021. They both are in contact with several Formula 1 teams, but contracts have still not been signed. Christian Nimmervol has spoken with GPBlog.com, about the situation in the drivers market. "Knowing Helmut Marko, I can't see how Sergio Perez would ever be considered for Red Bull Racing. Because it doesn't fit their philosophy. Purely from a sporting point of view, it is my belief that he would actually be a better team-mate to Max Verstappen than Alexander Albon is - just like Nico Hulkenberg," said Nimmervoll. "Perez' is a rock solid driver, has a lot of experience and can contribute to work on set-up and development with years of experience he has gained. Something which is also important for Max," he continues. On Schumacher, he said: “The only chance to recreate some of the earlier hype is of course Mick Schumacher. If he does well and beats his team-mate on his way to future glory, the following will be huge. If Mick fails to impress, however, I believe the sensation will ebb down after a few races. We will see. "If Mick wins the F2 championship, which is very likely by now, he will certainly race in F1 in 2021 since he would not be allowed to continue in F2. I believe Ferrari will chose Alfa over Haas for him, but that is only my suspicion. And of course he will need to do a solid job at the Nurburgring FP1. If he manages to do that, which he is certainly capable of, I see no reason why he would not race in F1 next year," concludes Nimmervoll. source -  GPBlog.com
