Racing Point's Mexican driver Sergio Perez announced on Wednesday he would leave the Formula One team at the end of the season.

LONDON: Mexican driver Sergio Perez will leave Racing Point at the end of the Formula One season, he and the team announced on Wednesday.

Racing Point did not say anything about Perez's replacement in a statement confirming the 30-year-old's departure after seven years with the Silverstone-based team. "My time with the team will come to an end after this season," said the Mexican, who missed two races this season after contracting COVID-19."It hurts a bit as I bet on the team during very rough times," added the Mexican, who was instrumental in the team's survival after it went into administration in 2018 as Force India under the ownership of Vijay Mallya.

The team is now run by a consortium led by Canadian Lawrence Stroll, whose son Lance drives for them and finished third in last Sunday's Italian Grand Prix in a car dubbed the 'Pink Mercedes' for its similarity to last year's title-winner.
