Pérez was a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy until 2012. He also took his first Formula One podium at the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix with Sauber, a drive which won him plaudits and fuelled speculation of a move to Ferrari in the near future.

Due to his young age and performance, he has been referred to as "The Mexican Wunderkind". Pérez joined McLaren for the season however the car failed to deliver the team a single podium finish. Subsequently for the season, the team decided to replace Pérez with Danish driver Kevin Magnussen very late into the season almost leaving Pérez without a seat. In December 2013, it was announced that Force India had signed Pérez in a €15 million deal. ==Personal life== Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Sergio Pérez is the youngest child of Antonio Pérez Garibay and Marilú Pérez (née Mendoza); he also has an older sister Paola and an older brother Antonio Pérez, who competes in the NASCAR Toyota Series, a stock car racing championship held in Mexico.
