“I’m certain that the door to Method 1 isn’t closed for Checo if one thing superb and large comes alongside,” he instructed Mexican broadcaster N-plus Foro.
“I don’t assume Checo will go to a crew like Sauber or Haas. Checo will both signal a contract with an enormous crew, or the door is closed. No Indycar, no Nascar, no Le Mans. I’m 100% certain of that.
“That’s the reason I’m telling you that if there is no such thing as a massive crew, then Checo has already accomplished his final race. Every part in life has a starting and an finish, and it’s important to be taught to reside with it.
“For the second, what Checo has to do is focus on having fun with his household, as a result of it was a few years, many sacrifices, and that needed to finish someday and that day is at the moment,” Perez senior added.

“He’s finalising an settlement with Ferrari and thus returning to his origins, as he was within the Ferrari academy earlier than arriving in F1 with Sauber,” he added.
