There is no doubt that Sergio Perez is one of the best drivers on the Formula 1 grid today, but... what would have happened if the Mexican had not dedicated himself to motorsport? What other profession would he have chosen?
As part of an F1 promotion, drivers revealed their dream jobs if they had not dedicated themselves to motorsport, and surprisingly not all of them chose careers related to the sport.
In Checo's case, the career change would not be so drastic as he would continue in the sports world, only as a manager, as he laughingly assured that "the athlete does the work and you take the money".
What would Max Verstappen, Checo's teammate at Red Bull, have chosen?
The Dutchman would continue in the world of tracks. Not in a car, but on a motorcycle.
Another who would choose two wheels is Fernando Alonso. The Asturian said he would like to ride his bike and "do the Tour de ".
Other drivers who stayed on the sporting side were Valteri Bottas, who would like to play field hockey; Lando Norris, who would like to play golf, a sport he already practices, and George Russell, who declared that he would have liked to be a soccer player, since he is a loyal fan of Wolves in the Premier League.
Those who would choose the opposite of sport
The most popular profession is architecture; Charles Leclerc, Alex Albon, Nyck de Vries and Pierre Gasly would go for anything related to buildings, houses and the urban landscape.
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton would go for music to be part of a band, while Yuki Tsunoda would be a chef.
Those who would continue to get their adrenaline pumping are Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargent, both of whom would choose aviation as their dream job.
Finally, the driver who gets the weirdest choice of the day is Nico Hulkenberg, who would like to be an "undercover special agent".
