Sergio Perez has told Red Bull he would like to sign a longer deal after seeing his team-mate Max Verstappen handed a new mega-money five-year contract less than three months after tasting his maiden F1 title success. Verstappen put pen-to-paper on a new deal earlier this month.

Perez moved to Red Bull ahead of the 2021 season after impressing during spells with Sauber, McLaren, Force India and Racing Point.

He won his first Grand Prix for the Milton Keynes-based team at last June's Azerbaijan race and racked-up a further four podium finishes last time around.

And he produced a scintillating display at the final Grand Prix of the season as he held off Lewis Hamilton to slow him down for a lengthy period as the Briton tried tirelessly to pass him - a move which benefitted Verstappen enormously.
