Sergio Perez is itching to get back to racing. The Red Bull driver shared a picture of himself working out in the gym with only a week before the season resumes after the summer break.
Perez has had a fruitful first half of the season, bagging a win (Monaco), six podium finishes and a pole position (Saudi Arabia). He's third in the championship right now, just a few points behind second-placed Charles Leclerc. However, he trails leader Max Verstappen by 75 points.
In a video posted on social media, Perez said:
"There is little left to return to the track. Here we are preparing with everything for what will be an intense end of the year. I send a hug to all of you. Thank you for your support and see you soon. #summerbreak #nevergiveup"

In an interview with racingnews365 (as quoted by Formula Nerds), Perez was asked what made his team Red Bull different from others on the grid. The Mexican replied:
"I think the level of perfection the team is searching for every weekend. If we win that weekend, there are so many things we can do better. We are always pushing hard (to) all the limits, and I think Red Bull, as a team, is unique in that regard."
He added:
"Red Bull is very different to any other team. Every team is different. Every one has good things and bad things. But certainly, I'm very happy to be part of this (at Red Bull)."
Perez also touched on the importance of having a long-term contract with the team and how it's a huge boost in confidence for him. He said:
"It's good to have that continuity with the team - to be able to work on a longer-term basis. I think that's something that I was looking for in the last couple of years. So to have that, I think is a great plus."
