Daniel Ricciardo s♈ays Sergio Perez is still “worthy of a seat” after being dropped by Racing Point for the♓ 2021 Formula 1 season.

On Wednesday night, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Perez co⛄nfirmed he would be le꧟aving the team after seven seasons.

That was soon followed up by confirmation from Racing Point that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel would be Perez’s rep⛎lacement after months of speculation.

Haas and Alfa Romeo appear toℱ be Perez’s best hopes of an F1 seat for next season and Ricciardo says the Mexican deserves to be on the grid ꦆin 2021.

“He is certainly worthy of a seat to say the least,” Ricciardo said. “As a competitor I rate him. As a p⛎erson I get on with them. I saw him Sunday after the race, and I had a bit of an idea that this was going to be announced soon. It is obviously fairly late, well, it is not crazy late I think he still has time.

“There are few more seats availꦑable, and I hope for him that he finds a seat. He is still young. He is a year younger than me, so what is a 30?,  so I am old. He is young, he is still a baby. I wish him well, I certainly do. And hope to see him on 🐟the grid in 2021.”

Esteban Ocon sh♏ared two years alongside Perez at Force India in 2017 and 2018.

The Frenchman is also🧔 hopeful he can find a seat for next year.

“A difficult situation for sure at the moment for Checo,” Ocon added. “I do not know how it is from the inside but what I know when I raced with him, he is a guy that deserved to ha🐼ve a seat in F1.

“He has always been there consi♋stently scoring, helping the team bac🐼k in my days and even before then he was a guy that showed sense and capabilities and awesome speed. So he deserves the seat in F1, and I hope he will remain in F1.”
