Exit ‘not expected', but part of ‘crazy F1 business'

Sergio Perez says he “didn’t expect” to be axed from Racing Point’s Formula 1 team and was surprised to receive notification of his departure. Perez revealed that he was called by team owner Lawrence Stroll on Wednesday and informed that he was not part of the squad’s plans beyond the end of 2020. Racing Point duly announced Sebastian Vettel as Perez’s replacement for 2021, when it will be rebranded Aston Martin. Perez has been at the team, which previously competed as Force India, since 2014, scoring five podiums.
